@sbr/Brain - So I can only find the anger I'm seeking in metal? :(

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

There is some pretty angry rap too.  I don't like most of the new stuff, but people like Public Enemy and early '90's Ice Cube were pretty pissed, but hadn't gone completely off the ho's/bling/look at me deep end.

Not Toby Keith.   :huh:

He's a pretty patriotic guy, but he even wrote a song from the point of view of an Afghan peasant (The Taliban Song).  Of course it showed that peasant welcoming the US invasion, but still I thought that was fairly multicultural for a country singer.
Looked it up, I was right.  Toby Keith did Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue.

Well it has to be music made by losers: metal, hip-hop etc. Winners don't make angry music.

I have some Toby Keith, but don't recognize the name.  I'll take a listen.

Some early Courtney Love stuff she did with Hole is pretty angry.

But I've always liked this Lennon tune:

I suggest hard core punk band "Sick of it all"
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Dead Kennedys - In God We Trust, Inc. (overall a pretty angry punk EP...ok, Rawhide isn't so angry)  Also, Holiday in Cambodia is a good angry song.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Dead Kennedys weren't angry, just misunderstood!

Thanks all, I'll look those up. Oh and yeah, I included that Alanis song in my playlist.
