Angriest songs I've ever heard (excluding punk or metal):
Idiot Wind, Bob Dylan. "Your corrupt ways have finally made you blind!" Dylan starts out with a storyline to the song, but abandons it after the first verse in favor of a litany of hate directed at (of course) a woman.
I Want You, Elvis Costello and the Attractions. "Since when were you so generous and inarticulate?" This is a very quiet song, one that starts off like a love song and then evolves into a virtual textbook of bitterness and pain... it may sound more like despair than anger, but it's the kind of despair that ends with the house surrounded by police tape.
Avalanche, Leonard Cohen. "The cripple here that you clothe and feed is neither starved nor cold." Soft and seductive, the melody of this song disguises the howling hatred of the narrator towards his subject and towards himself for failing to reject her completely. For a particularly angry rendition, try Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's cover on From Her to Eternity.
Dress Rehearsal Rag, Leonard Cohen. "That's a hard one to remember, yes it makes you clench your fists, and the veins stand out like highways all along your wrists and yes it's come to this!" From the same album, this enticement to suicide takes self-loathing to a whole new level.
The album Altered Beast, Matthew Sweet. "Your desperate dreams are pathetic." Sweet's peppy jangle-pop masks some serious issues. This album is like an encyclopedia of bitterness and bile.
kid_militia:
two entire subgenres exist for just this thing. Check out some death metal or black metal from the early 90's. There's plenty of big names, a quick look could bring up plenty of names... I'm not the king of knowledge with Black, but big names include: Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, Enslaved, Darkthrone, Burzum...
In Death my personal favorites: Morbid Angel, Death, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, blah blah.
Hell, iTunes even has a "Death Metal Essentials" for people looking into it. I didnt look much through it but I'm sure it could be full of angry music thats just hurting to be heard.
