    Billie Holiday really emphasized the stress of living as a black woman in her day. Again, no visceral release. Just pure expression of the stress of life...

    Oh, lest I forget; Diamanda Galas...



    Nick Cave...



    and Warren Zevon.

    Warren Zevon - one might also add "Lawyers, Guns and Money." Yes, one well might.

    <blockquote>Again, no visceral release. Just pure expression of the stress of life...</blockquote>Heh, let me try this again...

    I love the vague sense of anxious dread in this. He wrote this about a divorce, if I'm not mistaken, but I always liked the urban legend about how he performed this for revenge against the man who let his friend drown. Either way, you can tell he was in a dark place when he put that together.

    I've liked this song for a long time, never watched the video until this thread started up. Holy fuck...

    The Manic Street Preachers have always been all about the stress and anxiety to me.

    Massive Attack, too:

    also, four minutes of more awesome than two hours of Transformers.

    Iron Maiden's Man on the Edge. Made for a rather fitting movie.
