Music to be a dick to. I'm tired of hearing the other end: music to make you feel okay when someone's a dick to you.→[More:]
So, what music do you put on (or run through your head) when you're being a dick to somebody?

Hmm. In general, Howlin' Wolf or Screamin' Jay Hawkins or the like.

A few specifics come to mind:

"I'm Still Alive" Pearl Jam
"Troy" Sinead O'Connor
"Dontcha" Pussycat Dolls (come on, admit it, it's catchy)

"Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" by Prong.

Early PJ Harvey.

Prong does it for me. The Rude Awakening Album. Very loud and mean.

Angry industrial... Das Ich or Skinny Puppy. Although Prong is a good choice, too.

"Sonic Reducer" by the Dead Boys.

I favor Minor Threat because it enables the kind of self-righteousness that protects me from considering myself to be in the wrong.

Something about Peaches by the Stranglers seems to make it the perfect asshole song.

ok, i need energizing rage music now
i don't know if should go for the one decent track from that at the drive in album or maybe some boosted old pj (the old cds have crap sound quality)

Ocean Size by Jane's Addiction.
Fight the Power by Public Enemy. (Nothing more cathartic than screaming "Motherf*ck him AND John Wayne" at the top of your lungs.)

'Cause if you did, I wasn't listening. Crack anotha fo-tay! Yo yo YO!

The Vandals, "People That are Going to Hell" from the delightfully named album Hitler Bad, Vandals Good.

Brilliantly used in the opening scenes of Sexy Beast, btw.

Signifying Rapper, Hugh, as heard in Bad Lieutenant. That is some music to be a dick to. Schooly School man.

That's what Andrew W.K. is for. I knew he had to be good for something. ("We were jerks / we were bad / and that's all I ever wanted to be")
