Just a few:

full-grown - JSBX (can't help but smile)
nata di marzo - pizzicato 5 (dance yer ass off)
where eagles dare - Misfits (screaming "I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch" always makes me feel better")
and almost all of Appetite for Destruction, esp. It's so Easy, You're Crazy, My Michelle (very misanthropic - but singing along gets it out of my system)

Most Likely You'll Go Your Way and I Go Mine - Bob Dylan
Song for the Dumped - Ben Folds
Bombtrack - Rage Against the Machine

I'm usually a pretty mellow guy so I don't have much blow-off-some-steam music in my collection so I make do with what I have.  Good thread :)

Love that song - love that line!

When I was a teenager it was angry songs like Pantera's Fucking Hostile. Now I listen to calmer songs like Steam Engine. The live version of that song from 2003/9/26 helps me let off steam (no pun intended!) & chills me back down to earth.
Thin Red Line OST by Hans Zimmer is another good one for me.
Great thread Patches!

Concerning "Rearview Mirror":
One of my good buddies used to sing that at the top of his lungs and after the last line, he would scream "I will never die!". He kept saying that the "I will never die" was from beavis and butthead, but I don't remember that. Was it something to do with Cornholio?

Hmmm... some of my "let off some steam" songs:

"Buttholeville" by DBTs
Anything by RATM, but I haven't listened to them in forever.

Agreed.  Have you dudes seen Heartworn Highways?  And old doc about music in the early 70s?  It's really, really, really fucking awesome, and there's loads of Townes in there.  :)

Nope haven't seen it, but I'd love to!
Is Blaze Foley in that documentary too? He is an other amazing Texan musician and was a friend of Townes.

I'm listening to his "If I Could Only Fly" (which was also covered by Merle Haggard) right now, it's sooo beautiful.
John Prine covers Blaze's "Clay Pigeons" on his new cd, but I haven't heard it yet.

Ok, check it out!

Blaze Foley, Blaze Foley... hmmm It doesn't sound familiar, but you know, I'm not the greatest with names.  And I lent it out to a pal, so I can't check.  But check it out for sure.  Oh god it's so good.

I'm sure it's good, maybe I'll get to see it sometimes!
If you can, check out the song "If I Could Only Fly" anyway, I'm pretty sure you'd love it.

Johnny Cash - Understand Your Man

I have that DVD - Townes steals the show, right?
I love the scene where he's fooling about in his back yard.
A documentary was made about him last year, anybody seen that one?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423853/

I'm still waiting for it to come out on DVD.

For anyone who doesn't have anything by Townes just go straight out & buy the box-set - once you have one CD you'll want them all!

Yeah!  He was pretty goofy.  That scene in his kitchen with his girlfriend and that old guy in the jean jacket - when he sings Waitin' Around to Die...  Holy motherfuck.

I got it for my Dad, and we watched it together, and we were both bawling.
