If I'm doing the mad coding thing it tends towards that sort of thing.
First two Killing Joke albums work for me. And almost anything by Gaye
Bykers on Acid.

Age betrayed.

Aside: I was on the train into London about two months ago and this
man was sitting next to me (this was a commuter train, I was lucky
that he wasn't sitting *on* me). He was in his early 50s I'd guess,
wearing a suit, looking businessman. I noticed him eyeing up iTunes
and then he tapped me on the shoulder. I took off my headphones and he
said "Are you listening to the Dead Kennedys?" I said "yes". He said
"Oh. Good" and went back to his newspaper.
