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)

radiohead-just

[JacketGal]

Not for You, Spin the Black Circle - Pearl Jam
Idiot Wind - Bob Dylan
Sometimes Salvation - The Black Crowes

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!

pearl jam - leash

Pearl Jam - Rearview Mirror

[corey]

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.

[McGuire]

Lil Billy
Thunderstruck
Be My Love

god yes he's amazing

[EC]

god yes he's amazing

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.  :)

[Chills]

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.

Reading these made me think of some more:

good call on 'Sometimes Salvation, JacketGirl.  My favorite Crowes song.

Johnny Cash - Understand Your Man
