Angriest Lyric/Vocal

angry begins with Slayer. old metallica, black sabbath get honorable mentions.

but really, didn't it all start w/ pete townsend: "hope i die before i get old"?

also, check out modest mouse; not so much the lyrics as the delivery by isaac brock, which is new & remarkable.

Yes, it seems to all have started with Pete and "My Generation". Although Dylan's (and Woody Guthrie's, and others) protest songs pre-date Townshend, those protest songwriters were angry about some particular issue. The Who were just plain angry.

God bless you, Pete.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Elvis Costello, who has written some of the angriest songs of all. "Tramp the Dirt Down", his song about Maggie Thatcher, comes immediately to mind.

How about Strange Fruit, the Billy Holiday song, angry in a slow burn way.

Does heavy metal count?

Pink Floyd; "The Wall"- "One of my Turns"

No god bless you pete from me. As a local sign said here for a while, hey pete, the kid's aren't alright.
