Empirical testing....

... Proves that the effect of prolonged exposure to My Chemical Romance, when tested on Amy, is "fuck this, it's not angry enough. GIVE ME SILVERCHAIR."

"The White Stripes-Jolene" (Watch on YouTube)

Trojie points out that Nirvana have angry music covered, but I didn't come across them until I'd past the point where the anger/self-loathing cocktail was what really did it for me in a band.

I have her CDs, which I pirated, would you like a yousendit file? She has 4-5 CDs, "Enchanted" which has a lot of "fairy tale" elements to it, "Opheliac" which is a lot darker and much more angry, "Laced/Unlaced" which is a 2-disc set of classical music + violin music she wrote herself (some played on her classical violin, some played on her electric violin... "Unlaced", the angry electric violin side, is insanely awesome), "A Bit O This And That" which is a bunch of B-sides and covers, and "Your Sugar Sits Untouched", her book of poems read with her music playing behind them.

The angry stuff is mostly on Opheliac and Laced/Unlaced. But she has some beautiful, non-angry, very renaissance-y pieces like "Shalott" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpXdNaXYysk), "Juliet" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4HknxMtFdw), "Marry Me" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Szt6F7K20), and O Mistress Mine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJCGSpcUPaA).

Lemme know if you're interested. :D
