Try Prokofiev's Toccata. There is an excellent version by Argerich, her so-called debut album.

If you liked that, you'd like French Suites by Glenn Gould too.

Try Bach's Italian Concerto in F Major, BWV 971. It was written for harpischord, but is is often played on the piano.

Hah!

I can't believe nobody here has mentioned Cecil Taylor. He is the definition of aggressive piano playing.

Check this youtube: YouTube - Cecil Taylor (especially around the 2:20 mark).

Some of his recordings (particularly those from the 80s FMP days) sound abnormally good, too.

Not sure what type of music the original poster was referring to, but since we've had classical, jazz and blues brought up, I believe Jerry Lee Lewis can be added to this group. To me, he is the definition of aggressive piano playing.
