Favorite scream in rock?

Joe Walsh "Meadows"

Back in the Saddle Again    Tyler

Oh Darling     Macca

Twist and Shout     Lennon

Steve Vai sex and religion song 9 survive. The song opens with a helluva scream.

OK I’ll throw another one in :)

"A Change Is Going to Come" by Baby Huey

Great song, too!

Here’s a few from the 80’s:

1.  “She said Shut up!” (Voices Carry by Til Tuesday)

2.  “Look out for the Bikini Whale!” (Rock Lobster by B52’s)

3.  “Shout!” (In a Big Country by Big Country)

Roger Daltrey - Love Reign o'er Me

not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but John Lennon at the beginning of Revolution is a pretty “revolutionary” scream

Getting a woman in the list: Brandi Carlile, The Story.

Also, to the earlier David Lee Roth @jastralfu vote, my understanding is that it was bassist Michael Anthony who did the band's screaming! Roth's range is more limited.

@peterf6 the screams I refer to are all DLR.  You are correct about Anthony having a much higher vocal range and his backing vocals were excellent.  Your Brandi Carlile mention reminded me of her outstanding cover of Soundgardens Searching Wirh My Good Eye Closed.  She belts out a tremendous scream at the end of that.

Let’s not forget Janis Joplin on Take A Little Bit of My Heart, Cry Baby and others. 

Black Francis 

@jastralfu cool! I'll listen for David and the other Brandi Carlile.

Maynard James Keenan on Tool's "The Grudge" is a 28-second scream!

Most famous - James Brown

Favorite - dream on - Aerosmith

Worst - Yoko Ono

Pink Floyd - Careful with that ax, Eugene

Whether a scream or a wail, Robert Plant on Kashmir is great, IMHO.

Nobody mentioned Zack de La Rocha from Rage Against the Machine?

WAKE UP!!!

Halford on the song Painkiller 

@amitynick agreed! Also Revolution is one of the best rock and roll songs ever recorded.

Blackbird - Alter Bridge / Myles Kennedy. 

Chester Bennington.

Roger Daltry, Won't get fooled again.

Laura Nyro.

Tom Cat Goodby

from New York Tendsberry.

White Rabbit sung by Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. "Feed your head..."

+1 on "The Grudge". 

How about Glenn Hughes? Still bringin' it at 70+ Check out some of his later work with the Dead Daises.

"Like No Other (Bassline)" off Holy Ground is one of my favorites. He rips off a few good screams as well.

The Beatles - Paul - I Saw Her Standing There.

I saw Roger Daltrey this past July in Boston.  He was awesome. Said he wasn't going to scream, he was honest he couldn't do it like the old days but he was awesome none the less.  Some guys at his age should definitely hang it up but it was one of the most enjoyable concerts I've been to in a long time.   He still rocks !

No body beats Jim Morrison.....the end.lol..

Wow there are so many good ones!

I have Become a huge Fan of the OZ man lately

Ozzy Osbourne!!  See you on the other side!

Terry Reid (honorable mention)

Slaw, I've  failed to show my appreciation for your spot on impeccable ear. Likewise jafant...you guys rule

Also bdp and many others

Appreciate that @loomisjohnson !

“You CANNOT Petition The LORD With PRAYER!!” 
- Jim Morrison 

Made me jump the first time.  
Maybe not the best rock’n’roll scream, but definitely memorable. 

Honorable Mention to Steven Tyler on Back in the Saddle. 
Talk about “Sex and Fast Cars”  Try that one on the highway with the windows down.
