Favorite scream in rock?

"Black Licorice" Grand Funk Railroad 

Chris Cornell was the best screamer among all rock royalty. Perhaps the most unique as well. 

++Halford

N

Anything Kurt,

@ meadowman +1 for Halford!

How about the screams in "Vctim of Changes"

Chris Cornell "Wooden Jesus"

Geoff Tate

Eddie Vedder in "Blood".

And +1 to John Lennon's 2/11/1964 studio version of "Twist and Shout". And Geddy.

Merry Clayton - Gimme Shelter, Rolling Stones Gives me goose bumps every time I hear her sing and scream.

Charles Thompson / Black Francis / Frank Black on every other Pixies song.

The day that Don Henley and Glenn Fry told Don Felder: "Sorry dude, but you’re no longer an Eagle."

Joan Jett . I Love Rock and Roll .

Wilson Picket!

John Fogarty!

Janis!

John Lennon!

Linda!

Fun thread!  Geez too many favs to name just one.  

Robert Plant/Zep

-How many more times

-Since I've been loving you

-etc

Geoff Tate/Queensryche

-Queen of the reich

-Take hold of the flame

-etc.

Ian Gillan/Deep Purple

-Strange kind of woman

-Child in time

-etc.

But I concur with a few others that Halford takes the cake for me.  No other like him!

-Dreamer deceiver

-Victim of changes

-Exciter

-etc, etc, etc, etc!

Geddy Lee was a great call too.  He's got a few, Didacts is short but a fine scream none the less!

Honorable mention for Bon Scott's scream at the very end of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".

Awesome thread. So many great screams/screamers listed here. I need to add one from my youth. Ted Nugent. He was a consummate screamer back in the day - check out Double Live Gonzo. Great example is the track Motor City Madman. If you ever saw him back in the mid 70’s, his shows were a skull-splitting loud, "energetic" relentless assault on the crowd to say the least... 

He lets out quite a few screams in this 10+ minute ditty, (3:10 mark, 5:08, 5:45 for example), but the crazy one lead-up starts around the 7:36 mark. If you don’t want to play the whole song, play it from there and let it ride. 8:10 mark or so is the one.

So, with that context, turn this one up and let ’er rip!

Robin Zander...Cheap Trick...."Gonna Raise Hell"

Shocking Blue - Venus has a pretty good one.

@forestg 

On a related note, I would have to include Edgar's screams on "You Were My Light" on the first White Trash album.

If I must say, one of the most underrated albums ever.

Merry Clayton in Gimme Shelter around the 2:40 mark is another great one.  

So many good ones!

Meadowman hit what I first thought of, Rob Halford. Victim of Changes on Unleashed in the East! 

How about Johnny Winter on Muddy Water’s Hard Again Album? Mannish Boy cut & others. Turn that up loud on a good, powerful system & you’ve got some real blues fun! 

jerry wins!

Spouse.

Nothing else really matters....right?

gotta be Zeppelin

Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) Child in Time

"Stand Up And Shout", Steel Dragon from the film Rock Star - Miljenko Matijevic supplied most all of the vocals. Big voice for sure. 

Lindsey Buckingham, Tusk is competitive.

Any of Iggy Pops screams on Fun House especially L.A.Blues

"What's your favorite scream, shout, or yell? Other than Roger Daltrey's, of course."

Reading comprehension, people.

Reading comprehension.

Rob Halford would be my choice as mentioned above. Who can possibly scream any better?  

Donna Summer in "Love to Love You."

Roger Daltrey in "Won't Get Fooled."

Screamin' Jay Hawkins has to be one of the best. John Lennon on Plastic Ono Band, Well, Well, Well, John was going through scream therapy at the time.

There's ten and a half minutes I'll never get back...

Heads and shoulders above any and all of the above is Suicide's 1977 classic song Frankie Teardrop.

Play at maximum volume

And to reassure those who feel disoriented outside the genre boundaries of boomer rock, Bruce Springsteen did cite Frankie Teardrop as an inspiration on his album Nebraska. Enjoy!!

Another vote for Roger Daltrey - Won’t Get Fooled Again.  Yeah!  

Todd Rundgren on The Death of Rock and Roll.

Sammy Hagar

@thecarpathian 

I love the Beatles.😁

My throat is feeling harsh and scratchy all of a sudden.  Going to sip on some nice, soothing mint tea.

Be right back ...

F. DEEP PURPLE - "Highway Star": Machine Head - 72

I'm pretty sure that this was the song that I drove my parents crazy with while I was in high school; and, that makes perfect sense when you consider that it's a song about sex and fast cars. And, to top it off, the song features screaming guitar, bass, and keyboard solos; plus, one of the ultimate screaming lead singers in Ian Gillian. He is well known for causing parents burst into their child's bedroom and demanding to know "what is all of that screaming about?"

"Didacts & Narpets" - Geddy Lee

Man, these are great!

I have to mention Edgar Winter from the live Roadwork album, Tobacco Road.

Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson - Coconut and Jump into the Fire

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I put a Spell On You and many others

One of my favorite screams which hasn't been mentioned is in "Going All the Way" by The Squires:

https://youtu.be/HoBB0e-dVhc?si=maKR-1Uda24hTS60

This is one of my all-time favorites; I truly, truly love this song, and the fact that it never became a worn-out hit was a tremendous oversight.

Little Richard.

@curiousjim ,

I stand corrected!

Always thought it was John because to me that's who it sounded like.

Thanks for learning me that...
