Probably a lot of obvious choices on here, but I like to think of it as honoring the classics of the genre, and hopefully there are a few entries which are new to folks.

Crime Mob - Knuck if You Buck (this goes at the start of the playlist, because, in my experience, playing this to a crowd of significant size will result in hands being thrown somewhere, it is a statistical inevitability)
Godsmack - I Stand Alone
~~Pantera - Walk~~ Phil Anselmo is a Nazi shit weasel and I was unaware.
Limp Bizkit - Rollin
Rage Against the Machine - Fistful of Steel
Lil Wayne ft Eminem- Drop the World
CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings
DMX - X Gon Give It To Ya
Ludacris - Get Back
KMFDM - Free Your Hate
Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide
Static-X - Push It
DJ Shadow ft Run the Jewels - Nobody Speak
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
Slipknot - People=Shit
Slayer - Raining Blood
Holy Fuck - Tom Tom
Danzig - Mother
Queens of the Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire (gotta find an edit without the intro tho)
Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
Mïngle Härder (formerly Möngöl Hörde) - Blistering Blue Barnacles

Two nautical themed metal/hardcore songs which get me ready to tussle isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

Rise Against - State of the Union
Coheed and Cambria - Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant (with honorable mention to In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 and Welcome Home)
Chevelle - The Red
Bullet For My Valentine - Waking the Demon
Eve 6 - Think Twice
Hole - Violet
Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off
Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Winds

That seems like enough brainstorming for now. Hope someone finds something they vibe with.

+1 for State of the Union and Sentry the Defiant. I also see your Waking the Demon and raise you one You want a Battle? (Here's a War). I don't know if we're all against Anti-flag with Justin Sane being a trash human, but their catalogue is still good for this situation.

State of the Union has been one of my favorites to the point I honestly forgot it's not a single

I listened to Siren Song of the Counter Culture all the way through for the first time since probably 2007 a little while ago, and tbh, there's little on the record I would call filler. Some songs do less for me than others, so I'm not gonna say it meets "All Killer" criteria, but I was surprised by how much I was enjoying the deeper cuts.

In fact, it surfaced an embarrassing memory for me. When "Paper Wings" came on, I was reminded of a little light plagiarism I committed as a shitty 13 year old. We had discussed the use of enjambnent in "The Red Wheelbarrow", and were told to write a poem with an emphasis on structure as much as meter or rhyme. Being (as mentioned) 13, shitty, and confident that Rise Against was not in my English teacher's rotation, I basically just copied and pasted lyrics from that song and incorporated odd line breaks and punctuation.

Had I a modicum of self-awareness at the time, I'd like to think I'd have made different choices, but that's high school, baby!

My musical awakening was just too late to pull that kind of nonsense in school but I absolutely feel that
