You know what I mean, songs that are like a slap in the face or a kick in the nuts. Songs that leave you in no doubt about the writer's intentions.

Here's my suggestions, what are yours?

Edit: rewatching them, angry songs is probably a synonym for uncompromising.

In reply to Jon Stewart:
Yes and yes. Two belters and favourites of mine, particularly Mississipi Goddam.

In reply to DaveHK:

The best music tends to be born of real pain and oppression...

In reply to Jon Stewart:

I like jolly stuff too...

Somehow, that masterpiece had passed me by.

Thank You!

"If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel.."

Absolutely appalling, makes me ashamed to have Mungo Jerry classified as a British pop group.

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Watching Mungo Jerry on youtube is a truly disturbing experience. I think Fred West copied his styling

The chorus is pretty direct and to the point. I love Jarvis' Lyrics.

Or for that matter:

In reply to DaveHK:

Everything by the Dead Kennedys?

In reply to DaveHK:

Jacques Brel wrote some really hard songs, but did you know the old 70s weepie "seasons in the Sun" was written by the same guy as Next?*


* actually wiki reveals that the english version is a re-write, that kind of spoils the original Brelian (is that a word?) intention

In reply to Skip:
Hmm a couple of Nicks for bed wetters? Now if you'd suggested Stagger Lee that would be different. With a line like "I'd climb over 50 good @&£&ies just to get to one fat boys &£)@hole" I'd say that's pretty uncompromising. The songs finale is Stagger Lee shooting someone in the head whilst getting head.

Good ole Nick!

How about Prayer to God by Shellac, or in a lighter mood Tw*t by (Dr.) John Cooper Clarke

Ah, you beat me to it.

Kerosene was one of my 'life tracks' (I came from a small town)

I mean, just read the lyircs:

I was born in this town
live here my whole life
probably come to die in this town
live here my whole life
never anything to do in this town
live here my whole life
never anything to do in this town
probably learn to die in this town
live here my whole life
nothing to do
sit around at home
sit around at home
nothing to do
stare at the walls
stare at each other
wait til we die
stare at each other
wait til we die
probably come to die in this town
live here my whole life
theres Kerosene around
something to do
theres Kerosene around X2
she's something to do
theres Kerosene around
find something to do
theres Kerosene around
shes somethind to do
theres Kerosene
set me on fire...Kerosene
