    Some of these suggestions IMHO are songs where the primary purpose is to shock rather than being the result of true anger, Bodies being a good example. Now't wrong with that - its been a fundamental part of RnR forever but not sure it is anger.

    First song I thought of when I saw the thread title was Mississippi Goddam, by Nina Simone - the anger is somehow made more real by the juxtaposition of the jaunty show tune and the subject matter of the lyrics.

    Generally most Crass songs were pretty angry - “Sheep Farming In The Falklands” and it’s B side “Gotcha!” spring to mind as does “Do They Owe Us A Living” - of course they fuckin’ do!

    2Pac - Hit 'Em Up.
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Infantile, but "break stuff" by Limp Bizkit is pretty angry in a childish frustrated kind of way

    The first song I thought of when I saw the thread title was Lennon and his attack on McCartney "How do you sleep?".... Genuine anger rather than the usual pseudo-intellectual, hypocrytical sixth-form bollocks he usually spouted during his solo career (still a bloody good songwriter though)

    This as well from Neil Young, the saturated vocal take adds to vibe of injustice and anger...

    Anger doesn't have to be loud, sometimes more powerful when held back -

    Still There'll Be More - Procol Harum. Might not sound like an angry song, but someone must have pissed Keith Reid & Gary Brooker off when they wrote this one!

    Pantera - pretty much anything past CFH! The great southern trendkill has some seriously pissed off sounding songs on it.
    Frank Carter/Gallows.
    Mastodon - Blasteroid

    There is no way Strapping Young Lad can be left out of this.



    Any number of letlive songs could make the cut, but this one is particularly vicious:



    Then, of course, there's Lamb of God, fronted by Randy Blythe, the World's Angriest Man - makes Phil Anselmo look like a girl scout.



    And now for something completely different:


    - "I'm going to write a very stiff letter. A VERY stiff letter. On cardboard."

    Maybe it's a generational thing but I never thought of Pantera as being heavy or aggressive. Same with Lamb Of God.

    Lamb of God are awful, not really that angry at all - just overproduced click-track metal imo.

    Martin Carthy's 'Company Policy' does it quite subtly.

    Actually the whole of 'Imprint' by vision of disorder is about as angry as you can get.
