27. Rowland S. Howard — “I Burnt Your Clothes”
The late and great Rowland S. Howard included a reworking of “He Cried” on his 1999 masterpiece Teenage Snuff Film — right before this song, which is even more vicious (as its title might suggest). It’s Howard’s utter detachment that makes this so compelling — and all the more so because of the sense that he’s just as appalled by his actions as the listener is.
