Songs of Hate & Pain Vol.1

Posted by: Redmires on 19 June 2010

I like a happy love song as much as anyone but nothing moves me more than a song of hate and pain. A few that spring to mind ....

You're So Vain - Carly Simon
At Seventeen - Janis Ian
How Do You Sleep - John Lennon
Sexy Sadie - The Beatles
You've Got a Nerve - Rod Stewart
Positively 4th Street - Bob Dylan
One - U2
Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday
Stop - Sam Brown
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Conner
Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette (whole album !)
Most things by Annie Lennox

A fair few female vocalists there. Perhaps only women bleed, as Alice Cooper sang.

Suggestions for songs with bite are welcome, to fill up a compilation album. As are suggestions for artists/albums to check out.
