Aurgasm has the long, tragic story of Calabria. The song itself is designed to get heads bobbing and bodies moving.

The Freedom by Swan Lake
I once had the pleasure of hearing Dan Bejar performThe Freedom solo. It's a special song, whether stripped naked or slowly dressed up with the rest of Swan Lake.

I Ghosts I by Nine Inch Nails
Ghosts is a pretty varied album, but even still, I Ghosts I is a pretty good example of what you're getting into. Haunting ambience, an overall trippy experience.

Live The Future (Collapse Edit) by Ninja 9000
There's a terrific irony about a song making heavy use of the C64 called Live the Future, but it's still excellent advice, and the song should make you dance your pants off.

Sincerity Machine by Tony Hightower
Tony Hightower didn't keep at song fighting for too long, sadly. Songs like Sincerity Machine are catchy toe-tapping fun, even if they only once won him a fight.

2X2 by If:Then:Goto
I find If:Then:Goto's album titles interesting. 2X2 is from Art Vs. Science. It weaves its melody around a thumping electronic beat, a slow moving bass line, and the occasional sound of the rain.

Non-Threat by The Walt
There's a delicious irony to naming a noisy, energetic rock tune Non-Threat. The four and a half minute running time might wear you out, but the way the bass sticks out in the mix makes for a happy worn out.

She says:"Now that you think the world is ending you seem much happier". This time I'm fighting back by Cherly KaCherly
Guitars do a jittery, halting dance around what sounds like improvised percussions in She says:"Now that you think the world is ending you seem much happier". This time I'm fighting back.
As usual, I recommend the vorbis version.
