What Now My Love as sung by Stargazer
This one takes just a little explanation.
This song was quite popular in the 60's having been covered by a number of artists.
Then I got to hear the original composer sing it. And I went, "...whoa..."
How often do you hear anger expressed in a song?
So, I decided to see how my star of negative emotion in music did it.
Do not make the bear angry. You won't like him when he's angry.

There's plenty of anger in music. Just look at screamo. :-P In all seriousness, though, anger can be such a strong emotion that it's not at all unprecedented to hear it expressed in music. I remember in college we played a piece that was written largely in anger: "American Guernica" by Adolphus Hailstork, written about the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing. A combination of rage and a memoriam.
Yeah, angry doesn't sell so well on pop radio. At the same time, though, I'm getting REALLY tired of hearing EVERY SINGLE POP SONG on the radio being about romantic relationships. The universe and our lives in it are too vastly complex to limit the grand art of music in such a way--even pop music.
