What are the most attacking responses to 1.e4 & 1.e5 for black? (edit)oops- typo 1.d4

Scandinavian 1.e4...d5 is pretty attacking
or
Alekhine 1.e4...nf6
are pretty full-on

Obviously Englund gambit 1.d4...e5
&
Benoni 1.d4...c5
spring to mind as being eyebrow-raisers.
Come on - Make my eyes water by hitting white where it hurts on either e4 or d4!

First off, 1.e5???
anyhoo against 1. d4 I play a benko gambit! However I consider the Albin Counter Gambit to be the most agressive reply.

You can't play 1. e5.. I suppose you mean 1. d4.

For e4, I think the sicilian something. Unbalanced from move one.
For d4, the benoni or kings indian. Completely mad.

(Didn't consider gambits here, just mainlines)...

I think the alekhine is the most provacative answer to e5 also the french s a great counter attacking oppening, maybe not aggresive but it's certenly provocative and the positions are completly crazy in some lines:http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1334610

Don't many Sicilians get very cluttered & tight? I've not played it often but it's real headache material for me.


Lol it's been a long day!
Yeah I think it's clear I meant white's KP & QP openings!
Time for bed!!

The most agressive answer to 1.e4 is probably 1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,f5!? but it relies on White playing Nf3 and I think it's rather dubious as well.The Alekhine is provocative and good but rather difficult to play,imo.
I think the french is the best answer to 1.e4.Not that I like it any 😛
Against 1.d4 maybe the Budapest,fajarowicz variant 1.d4,Nf6 2.c4,e5 3.dxe5,Ne4!?,again rather dubious I think,heh.
The benoni is more sound and still quite an active response 1.d4,Nf6 2.c4,c5 3.d5,e6 4.Nc3,exd5 5.cxd5,d6

Ok I'd like the best example you can think of, of a standard-line sicillian which displays it's powers. I want to understand the basics of the opening because I'm always trying to improve my game.
Please post a juicy sicillian game id below.
Many thanks.
