musical help please!

Ah yes...some of you will be very happy I'm asking for musical help. Turns out Britney, Ashlee, Jessica, Taylor....they just don't write very angry music. So I'm not looking for just random screaming or unintelligible words. What are some good angry, break-up songs? Here is my list so far, not quite enough to fill a CD:

Picture to Burn - Taylor Swift (I know...but it's so fun to sing aloud at the top of your lungs to this one)
Gunpowder & Lead - Miranda Lambert
Through With You - Maroon 5
Little Goodbyes - SheDaisy
You Ain't No Big Thing Baby - Sam & Dave
I'm Gonna Forget About You - Sam Cooke
You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette
Let Me Hold It Open - Cowboy Mouth
Everything Back But You - Avril Lavigne
Sweet About Me - Gabriella Cilmi
All Over You - The Spill Canvas
Don't Think Twice - Mike Ness (was a little more angry sounding than Bob Dylan)
You Don't Know What Love Is(You Just Do As You're Told) - The White Stripes
The Other Shoe - Old 97's
What May Seem Like Love - Whiskeytown
I Dont Care - Apocalyptica

Really? Five Finger Death Punch? I couldn't come up with an angrier sounding name...but I will take a listen regardless because I'm mad right now and not being picky.

The penultimate angry girl CD: "Jagged Little Pill" by Alanis! Please tell me you have it. Everyone in America owned that CD at one point!

I will look through my musical collection to see what else I've got.

No! I always stole Kevin's...lol, who knows if he still has it or not but one song from that album has earned a spot on my CD

Dylan's "Don't Think Twice" is a prett good bitter song. Whiskeytown's "What May Seem Like Love." "The Other Shoe" by the Old 97's isn't really angry, but it is about braekin' up and killin' as is "Delia's Gone" by the great Johnny Cash. The Rolling Stones "Dead Flowers" is pretty good since it is angry, about beaking up, and involves heroin.
Oh, and Thw White Stripes "You Don't Know What Love is (You just do as you're told)"

Ani DiFranco, "Untouchable Face"
The Wreckers, "Leave the Pieces"
Michelle Branch, "Goodbye to You"

That's just from trying to find great rock anthems. Wait til I go through my cds for you!

I have a whole playlist of breakup songs on my computer at home.

"Song for the Dumped" Ben Folds Five (sooooo awesome)
"Back to Me" Kathleen Edwards
"Since U Been Gone" Kelly Clarkson (I love that song)
"Ruin My Day" Jon Brion (not angry, but it so captures that power someone can have after a break-up)
"Rowboat" Johnny Cash (dark)
