Angry - IMO it is obvious, Start Me Up.

I tried so hard but haven't found any similarity to Start Me Up. Both songs (and riffs) are completely different.
Yes they are different. SMU is a Keith riff, with subtleties, and spacing. Angry is a pure Jagger riff, very straight and direct., Perfect for the IPhone world.
But I think it's the idea of - big power riff - beat - very basic catch phrase - repeat and repeat again.
There is some documentary on Tube where Henry Rollins talks about "The Power Chord" and it's irresistible force.

But that could be applied to many other riffs. To me this riff is close to It Must Be Hell,

I've been a fan and collector now for almost 50 years and since Goat's Head Soup I always felt that they never came close anymore to Exile.
HD isn't a new Exile for me BUT it's their best record since Exile and personally I have now my top 5.
