Too many. Here are my top choices.
Give Me It - The Cure
Wish - Nine Inch Nails
Dear God - XTC
I'm Going Straight to Heaven - MC 900 Ft. Jesus
And Mother by The Police is an amusing, if not Oedipal, suggestion.

i love to hate -- screeching weasel
a prayer to god -- shellac
hate the police -- dicks
fuck the police -- nwa
Andrew / October 12, 2005 12:21 AM
Ugly Kid Joe's "I Hate Everything About You."
...Just kidding.
I'd say "wish," by Nine Inch Nails, off broken, and to continue my Violent Femmes theme, "Flamingo Baby" off Why Do Birds Sing.
Stephen / October 12, 2005 12:45 AM
Shellac - "Prayer To God". Hench (above) is on the money with that one.
Also, the entirety of Refused's "The Shape of Punk to Come".
jk1 / October 12, 2005 1:44 AM
Some favorites, off the top of my head...
'the Curse of Millhaven' by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
'the Desperate Thngs You Made Me Do' by the Magnetic Fields
'Disintegration' by the Cure
'Buzzbomb' by the Dead Kennedys and 'Mate Spawn and Die' by Lard
Hard to go wrong with Skinny Puppy or Swans for anger and hate, but dang if I can't boil them down to one track...
amyc / October 12, 2005 6:20 AM
No Action - Elvis Costello
No Children - the Mountain Goats
Going to Marrakesh - the Extra Glenns
Untouchable Face - Ani DiFranco
Suck My Left One - Bikini Kill
How Do You Sleep? - John Lennon
Roni / October 12, 2005 6:23 AM
You Oughta Know - Alanis...more pissed off than hate, but it's what goes in the CD player when I'm hating.
Speedy / October 12, 2005 6:34 AM
What's that Eamon song that starts out all sweet then turns in to '#$@( this and ^@%#% that and ^#%#$ everything'? That's the one I like.
printdude / October 12, 2005 7:05 AM
1996 - Marilyn Manson
Slack-a-gogo / October 12, 2005 7:38 AM
"Hate Song" by the Posies (obvious, but appropriate) and I'll second John Lennon's "How Do You Sleep". And for pure, uncut hatred, Elvis Costello's ode to Thatcher, "Tramp the Dirt Down" is perfect.
Dr Awkward / October 12, 2005 7:47 AM
Hate - by the Delgados
Maggie / October 12, 2005 8:14 AM
"I Hate Myself for Loving You," Joan Jett. Splits the difference.
Keith Romero / October 12, 2005 8:23 AM

kerry / October 12, 2005 9:52 AM
"Hate" - Cinerama
"(Fuck You) An Ode to No One" - Smashing Pumpkins
"Jism" - Tindersticks
I second Marilyn Manson's "1996", but also add "Love Song."
Annie / October 12, 2005 10:11 AM
"Positively Fourth Street" by Bob Dylan.
eep / October 12, 2005 10:18 AM
"Caught Out There" by Kelis. Screaming along with her is sometimes theraputic.
Samm / October 12, 2005 10:18 AM
"No Children" by the Mountain Goats. "I hope you die. I hope we both die." Brilliant.
Jason / October 12, 2005 10:19 AM
Love and hate are so closely related. That's what I think is so great about Bob Dylan's Idiot Wind.

"Fuck You, You Ho. I Don't Want You Back," by Eamon.
matt.T. / October 12, 2005 11:32 AM
"Sorrow Evoker" by Witchcraft.
or
"The Kiss" by The Cure.
Lee / October 12, 2005 11:36 AM
I agree: "Caught Out There," by Kelis is my favorite hate song. She chants--"I HATE..YOU-SO-MUCH-RIGHT-NOW; I HATE...YOU-SO-MUCH-RIGHT-NOW...AHHHHH!" Would also offer Blu Cantrell's "Hit em up Style," and--going old school now--Bobby Womack's "I'm Going to Forget About You." That song has the line: "I don't know what you gone do/You tired of me and I'm SOOOO TIRED OF YOOOOUUUU."
Fredbeck / October 12, 2005 11:40 AM
The funniest hate song I've ever heard is "In Love" off of Ben Folds' Fear of Pop side project, featuring vocals by William Shatner. Folds' break-up songs tend to have an undercurrent of still being "in love", but not this one. Shatner delivers the money line with a shift from angry to icy that has to be heard to be appreciated:
"...and I CAN'T COMMIT! YOU'RE RIGHT! I CAN'T COMMIT... to you."
UnluckyAtlas / October 12, 2005 11:45 AM
Almost anything by Left for Dead: "Why don't I cut off your head and we'll call that negative reinforcement, if that's the way you treat an animal you deserve even worse."
Or Born Against.
I'll second the Dicks "Hate the Police" but add "I Hope you Get Drafted".

j / October 12, 2005 3:17 PM
The song sung by Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer" is quite funny and certainly hatefull
Mister C / October 12, 2005 4:02 PM
Anything by The Birthday Party, but Six-Inch Gold Blade in particular (especially the live version).
Ann van Moxie / October 12, 2005 5:06 PM

Jeez, no mention of Ryan Adams? "Come Pick Me Up" is the hateyest of the hateyest songs ever, along with "Living in Paradise" by Elvis Costello
Sarah / October 12, 2005 10:28 PM
Sex Pistols--No Feelings
(I look around your house, you've got nothing to steal/I kick you in the brains when you get down and kneel and pray/ You pray to your GOD?!?),
plus I second Bodies
The Smiths--Frankly Mr. Shankly
(Frankly Mr. Shankly, since you asked/you are a flatulent pain in the ass)
A E Hansen / October 13, 2005 8:14 AM
Shiny Happy People - REM
That song makes me feel pure rage at the world.
redliner / October 13, 2005 8:49 AM
ooooh, nobody sings hatred like Elvis Costello. You could make a great mix tape of just Elvis Costello hate songs. My personal favorite is "All the Rage," though his voice isn't as venomous there as it is on some others.
o / October 13, 2005 9:08 AM
tool aenima
william shatner & pulp really crush it though with common people
robin.. / October 13, 2005 9:45 AM
ADD IT UP by the violent femmes, and "don't think twice, it's alright" by the inimitable bob dylan. and, i echo the talk of elvis costello's hate voice. num.
Andrew / October 13, 2005 10:27 AM
Another pair from Elvis Costello: "Who Do You Think You Are?" and "Swine" off The Juliette Letters (with the Brodsky Quartet).
SugarT / October 13, 2005 11:00 AM
Agreed on "Who Do You Think You Are?" -- TJL is a great album. More Elvis: "13 Steps Lead Down," "Shabby Doll," and "What's Her Name Today?"
PMan / October 13, 2005 12:05 PM
Local Girls -- Graham Parker
And let me also aggree that Elvis C. does angry very well
FVK Member / October 13, 2005 12:31 PM
I've always thought that the seething anger of Roger Daltrey's voice, the rumbling of Keith Moon's ADD drumming and of course, Pete Townsend's bloody knuckles against his guitar strings in The Who's "I Can See For Miles" encapsulate pure hatred better than most anything.
EXCEPT FOR:
(And you're going to laugh if you know anything about this guy but:)
REV. Norb - Touch Me I'm Weird (Bulge)
I'm serious. Coming from a guy who's always been pretty much a closed book as far as emotions are concerned, this record is basically an unbridled attack on the woman (OK, girl) who broke his heart (save for the odd dance step song here and there). My fave is the third song called "Now You Cry" which, on the copy that was given to this particular ex-girlfriend, had most of the lyrics blacked out with a Sharpie.
Yeah, I know the guy but that only proves to make this record that much more dramatic.
Rev. Nørb / October 13, 2005 1:22 PM
That's sweet, Erik, but the best hate song ever is "Woman" by the Anti-Nowhere League, which just goes to show you how much extra hate you get if they don't dump you first.

I like "Tyrone" by Erykah Badu. It's low-key, but I'd love to be able to tell somebody off like she does to that guy. "I wanted you to massage my toes/but you want to play dominoes/I don't care but you gots to leave/You can tell them you broke up with me"

"I fucking hate you" by Godsmack
"Threshold" by Slayer
"Hate's my life" by Hang
"Kein Lust" by Rammstein (it is a hate song when you think about it)
Angel / September 8, 2007 1:37 PM
Hate (i really don't like you) -Plain White T's.
I love that song. Everytime i see that "certain" person, i listen to that song.
"When Did Your Heart Go Missing"- Rooney
Not really a "hate" song, but defenitely the song to listen to if you're trying to get over someone...
"you are so last summer"
"Liar, It takes one to know one"
"make damn sure"- Taking Back Sunday
Vigilante / September 17, 2007 10:18 AM
Nobody mentioned Offspring? Check out "Feelings" from The Offspring's Americana album.
Ant / December 16, 2007 4:58 PM
Te best hate song of all time for me is People = Shit by SlipKnoT.
other great ones -
Split by Chimaira
Break You by Lamb Of God
Puke by Eminem
Everything Ends by SlipKoT (again)
Rachel / December 22, 2007 9:13 PM
Anything by Jack Off Jill...My favorites are "Nazi Halo", "Cinnamon Spider", "Poor Impulse Control", and "When I Am Queen".
Also:
Anything by Dethklok
Needle in the Hay- Elliot Smith
Stapled to the Mattress- Scarling
Bullet With Butterfly Wings- Smashing Pumpkins
Bang!- Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Not so much hate, but more of a 'fuck you' song.)
James / December 26, 2007 7:32 PM
That Is Why by Say Anything. The actual music itself isn't hateful, but more the lyrics. Describing all the things the singer doesn't like about the girl and finishing off with "And that is why you'll never ever, in a goddamn millenium, be my girl"
Skinny Mean Man by Say Anything. Just an angry song, kind of about a guy hurting a girl he likes "I saw, I smelled what he did to you girl, and to be frank the thought makes my innards curl"
No Soul by, right, Say Anything - "Theres something in the way you people smell, like you've got no soul at all"
You're The Wanker If Anyone is by Say Anything "With you out of my life skies are blue and love is real and true. You fugly bride, whoever thought shit could shine like that?"
And the kind of ultimate anti-conformism song, Admit It!!! by Say Anything. The whole song is really a hate speech with music playing.
And, well, I Hope You Die by Bloodhound Gang. Lists all the things the singer hopes happens to his worst enemy then every chorus is "I hope this helps to emphasise, I hope this helps to clarify, I hope you die."
Frankie / January 27, 2008 1:49 AM
gosh my picks have to be of course
1. I'm not okay - My Chemcical Romance
