I still listen to the THUG soundtrack, shifting away from the NOFX/QOTS/Bad Religion/Social Distortion bands I was into when I played as a teen, towards other songs I overlooked:

Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device
- Literally written during and about the Troubeles in N Ireland, fantastic punk/protest song.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on6DxBgfsDY
Smoke Blow - Circle of Fear
- My first foray into Kraut Rock. This whole German Angst album is pretty good.
- https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=6ruaKlr3Pms
Mastodon - Crusher Destroyer
- Not their greatest song, but it defintely opened me up to their rest of their stuff.
- https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5m4-5WSkJDg (this song gets good for exactly 30 seconds at the 1:00 mark)
Assorted Jelly Beans - Rebel Yell
- This song used to irritate the hell out of me when I first heard it. Babyish, lazy, unfocused?
- https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=iPRkURH8pCk
- As I got older, I started to appreciate the creativity and the many mood shifts within it. I count at least 5 distinct shifts. It's a patchwork of several different songs squashed together brilliantly.
- Plus, try to match the tempo of the singer when he sings at 0:37:
  
  The spotlight's shining, heard you had something to say
  The hourglass is pouring, your boring crowd fades away
  
  It's harder than it sounds
