"War Pigs" by Black Sabbath
"Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent

[The Brain]

Siege doesn't like War Pigs because it blames the military.

No, I don't get it either.

Are you sure it's not because of having Pigs in title?

Actually Pink Floyd's Pigs (Three Different Ones) is a very angry song. Forgot about that one.

[PDH]

Pink Floyd's "When the Tigers Broke Free" is also quite angry.

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

MC5
early Stooges
Black Flag
D.O.A
Sex Pistols
the Clash
Stiff Little Fingers (my #1 angry band, for a long time I had a cassette that had S.L.F!!! carved in it on both sides with a penknife)
Public Enemy
Nirvana


all these band have their moments of anger, some more than others. But these are the ones I go to,

[Admiral Yi]

Billy Bragg

[Drakken]

Pink Floyd: One of My Turns.

Or the whole Wall album, actually.

Disqualified because it is mainly Roger Waters' self-directed angst rather than real anger, even with its angrier songs like One of My Turns, Don't Leave Me Now, or the infamous Naziesque trilogy of songs (In The Flesh, Run like Fuck Hell, Waiting for The Worms).

Run Like Hell is perhaps the least self-angsty of all of The Wall's songs because it is pure acting out aggression put in words. Waiting For the Worms could have been worse if not for the self-loathing punctuating the beginning of the song. But the mere calling for the blackshirts to weed off the weaklings, to break up the windows, turn up the showers and fire the ovens is rather... intensely angry in itself (understatement). But the emotion of pure psychopathic methodical coldness of the microphone as distancing prop does not transmit the same in-your-face wrathful adolescent feeling of Run like Hell., hence why to me the latter would qualify more as an angry song to me.

But when I'm done listening to the whole album, I do feel immensely pissed off at the end. So I guess it works.

So is NIN's March of the Pigs.

I'll also propose "Sleepwalker" by Megadeth.

[Capetan Mihali]

Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" is a great insult song, but not necessarily audibly angry....

Punk rock and heavy metal are definitely the pop genres that picked up anger as a main source of inspiration.  I don't really listen to metal, but I agree with the punk suggestions given in this thread. 

"Institutionalized" by Suicidial Tendencies is a good heavy punk song about a young man becoming very agitated when his mother won't give him a Pepsi.
