I, Erin, shared Kristen’s post about angry music in my most recent share of Blogger Love. Jana and Erin consulted and agreed to steal be inspired by Kristen’s post. We will give you our own version of a collection of “Angry Tunes”.
Warning: if you don’t like explicit lyrics, this isn’t the playlist or blog post for you.
1. Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit – Judge all you want because of the band; this is a song that is a go-to for both of us when we want to listen to angry tunes.
2. Face to Face by Sevendust – A song that calls someone a “fuck stick”, a “motherfucker”, and a “prick” is an angry song for us.
3. Sick by Adelitas Way – This song is all about being “sick” in the head and “sick” of a lot of other shit too.
4. Scum of the Earth by Rob Zombie – The title tells you enough, doesn’t it?
5. Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine – The song ends with “Fuck you! I won’t do what you tell me!” about 20 times. No exaggeration. That alone is enough to make our list.
6. Walk by Pantera – “Fun” fact from Erin: Pantera in Texas is the one and only concert that I got out of the pit because I thought there was a reasonably high possibility I could die. A lot of anger was expressed at a Pantera show, folks.
7. Mother Mother by Tracy Bonham – No real reason for this one except the screaming is cathartic.
8. Down with the Sickness by Disturbed – A superb song that talks about demons, sickness, and madness inside of us.
9. You Call Me a Bitch Like It’s a Bad Thing by Halestorm – Enough said.
10. One Step Closer by Linkin Park – Shout it with me: “Shut up when I’m talking to you!”
11. Headstrong by Trapt – The chorus includes a “fun” to sing lyric “Back off I’ll take you on; Headstrong to take on anyone”.
12. Here to Die by Five Finger Death Punch – Opening lyrics: “This wasn’t meant to be a love song, Matter fact this one’s about hate”; he growls a little more than preferred but breaks into beautiful melodic sounds soon enough.
Tell us your favorite go-to angry tune.
anything by NWA (esp straight outta compton), anything by Violent Femmes and NIN.

“Aggressive” by Beartooth and “Crushed” by Parkway Drive. They’ll melt your eardrums……and you’ll like it.

I just realized that I don’t have a go-to angry song and clearly need to fix that. By title alone, You Call Me a Bitch Like It’s a Bad Thing, is already going to be a favorite!

I feel like I’d be listening to my favorite alternative station when I listen to this playlist, and I love it! I don’t think that you can beat Killing In The Name when you’re having a super rough day!

Linkin Park is at the top of my angry music playlist. Their older stuff, of course.
“One Step Closer” by Linkin Park is the best!!!

Yes! I love that you guys made this! 🙂
I almost used “Killing in the Name” instead of “Testify” on my list, and I can’t remember what made me go with “Testify” instead. Really, though, any RATM song is perfect when you’re pissed off and want to relieve some of that anger.
This is pretty much mine, too. Haha. Also the Flobots could get pretty angry in a righteous sort of way. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Linkin Park over the years, but that song is still up there.
