A lot of the what the Pogues did sounded like they were pissed off (including the sentimental ballads and lullabies). On the "If I Should Fall from Grace with God" CD Terry Woods (?) cries shit at the end of South Australia / Red Haired Mary.

Pete Seeger does an angry, powerful version of "WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?". Then there's Buddy Guy's "Two-Legged Rat" ["I SMELL A RAT"], the "one-legged fool" in Shel Silverstein's' song ["THREE-LEGGED MAN"]
