music's best screams
here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMbAPx_m6Mo
this one in particular scours my soul. the quiet man, the gentle one, tearing at the seams of his vocal tract.
it's very primal scream, a controlled exorcism, a caustic vent from depths of unutterable sadness. relatable. the kind of scream I would like to do.
people who don't like screaming fuck off fuck off fuck off (sorry).
don't be lazy, label your links and say something. these things do not just speak for themselves. explain your screaming picks.

Opera Mini closed on me, I had to rewrite from memory and forgot that bit.
-
riot grrrl came after so I guess those weren't the *last* screams
of proper hardcore. not that schooled in it, though.

cLOUDDEAD - And All You Can Do Is Laugh. (1)

I always forget it's there and it never fails to terrify me.

he was physically sick
I probably knew that.
proper screaming, real vomit.

one of my favourite moments in musictheShipment, incandenza_, GoatmeatMF, DaddyorChips, licky_kicky, thewarn, and kilgore-trout this'd this -
Pixies - Tame
Obvious answer, requires no explanation. TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!
theShipment, andyvine, ma0sm, distrus, robluvsnic, kilgore-trout, shimmetry, JaguarPirate, pichaelmarker, Body_In_The_Thames, and ThisTemporaryLife this'd this -
oh yeah
that's a terror scream. makes me ponder the origins of the scream.
basically, we can be just as scary as foxes or barn owls.

Suicide - Frankie Teardrop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5wJQkvSoOQ
I'll try posting some non-obvious picks as I go along. this one, though...
anal_schwarzenegger and DaddyorChips this'd this -
in order to broaden them scope
examples of really intense shouting are now encouraged.

not like EMOTIONS screaming but just
fucking hell howsabout the power of that there https://soundcloud.com/manatees/thepulpcut you cant mess with eugene.

I wish I knew more off the hook funk or classic rock shrieks/howls
or more esoteric screams, not just painful/despairing ones.
nm.
two Animal Collective ones, anyway.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvnGlY41cmE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7ytPNb75Ho
first one is a scream of someone whose youth is slipping away, always. at least I figure.
second is that guy in a more manic, trting to live but feeling frayed-edge existential.
maybe some metal ones next.
-
James Brown
This is probably the best one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDwOFThiNnA -
Mike Patton
Is my favourite screamer. For example:

No mucking about, just straight into it.

If you were going to be totally honest about it
Go through Little Richard's Specialty releases. Makes all your choices look stupid as shit.

Came here to post this.
'Armenia' is a force of nature. The Cave man still uses a sample of his scream in live performances of Stagger Lee, too.

Tool - The Grudge
(Unsurprising answer from me!)

Chino Mereno especially when he goes from whispering to screaming in an instant
Good shout on Bargeld. I thought it was a drill noise on Halber Mensch until I saw them live.

I love the randomness of the intro's quick scream which completely contrasts to the rest of the track's pleasant alt country vibe.Come to Daddy - Aphex Twin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6Jpdl6HZ-4
The middle section's distorted scream from 2:37 just takes the tune to even more freakish territory.bj72 and JaguarPirate this'd this -

was gonna post this
could be here all day with converge
is it cheating to put in singers who almost always scream? -
harvey milk - one of uss cannot be wrong
more wailing or howling than screaming but it'll do

Can't have a thread called 'music's best screams'
and not expect to see some Jane Doe in there.
This is probably cheating though as it's not even a song, but contains the coolest scream ever:
-
Alchemist - Chinese Whispers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrbJkTqXw_k
1:27 - Probably my favourite use of screaming in a song. Piercing as hell.

Carl Craigs remix of this has the best scream ever in it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09jyG-wKkBI
Dave Angel-Airborne, CC Mix
-
oh yeah, love this one
best bit on the album.
-
Ooh, in that case...
Conor for the last bit of "Road To Joy"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18S8D8kHFlE
He gets two really great screams in on that track.
-
State Faults
You can hear his throat being ripped up. I haven't a clue how they pull this off live. The whole album's like this.
-
I know someone also said Chino, but I specifically love Hexagram...
Two great screams in this - www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP4dFHSd-iw
-
incandenza_ this'd this
-
A Dillinger Escape Plan one...
"Farewell, Mona Lisa" - about 2:50 in, the initial screaming has subsided but then the relative calm is shattered by one THE most demonic sounding screams I've heard which just continues to get more and more deranged as the song progresses. In other words, amazing.

When I saw Bright Eyes at Somerset House
Conor screamed so much he threw up. Amazing gig.
-
the chariot
particularly david de la hoz and andy sundwell
or gay for johnny depp - nothing worse than a whining boy
proper sounds like a pained dog

The Birthday Party
Pretty much most of Junkyard, particularly *that* bit in The Dim Locator
DaddyorChips this'd this -
Too many effects on that one for me
Dimitri's screams hit way harder. So raw.

Julie Christmas- Battle Of Mice
Especially this towards the end of Cave Of Spleen (please excuse the pretty poor audio quality):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSIxoWVHnFs
She does that cute-ish whisper through to full throated roar thing but it all sounds so genuinely creepy and affecting, like a genuine exorcism of some pretty heavy shit, especially in tandem with the properly chilling lyrics. I get a genuine physical reaction every time from the holler around the 3:10 mark, and again all through the ending, particularly around the 6 minute mark. To be fair the whole song is wrenching though.Comaboy this'd this -
Great track
though I always thought his most affecting vocals were at the end of Eveything You Ever Wanted To Know..., when you can hear him choking in the vocal booth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W0F1yeuLZUbadmanreturns this'd this -
some good choices here
may think of more later but the first to come to mind is Portishead - Half Day Closing
-
THIS IS WHAT'S LIKE TO BE ALONE
Genuinely the most amount of goosebumps ever.

Radiohead-Climbing Up The Walls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbtZyuOMdHI
Is the first that comes to mind. -
Never seen that video!
Nice one.
-
Audioslave - Cochise
Is that a scream? Maybe more of a growl, still enjoyable though.
Best enjoyed while watching the stadium rock video, with it's silly posturing and fireworks.
Think there's a helicopter too, although it's a long time since I've seen it.Sorry, no youtube link.
-
At about 2:40 of this live performance of Closer
He makes it sound like digital manipulation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEdqqyxoWuA
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiR1hmpk-x4
From about 6:58 for a full 30 seconds. A Primal Scream like no other.
Maynard is the Master of the scream
-
Flower Travellin' Band - Satori I
immediately springs to mind:
-
Ctrl + F 'Knife Party'
eh?
It makes me shiver, makes my toes curl. It is everything I want from music.
-
(i agree with you,
just can't really be admitting to be a tool fan where people can see, you know?)

There's a lot of screaming in Pixies' music
But I don't find it annoying.
-
i have a present for you ITS MADE FROM PIECES OF YOUR SKIN!
no one has linked a better scream than the ones between 1:15 and 2:15 here, especially at 2:11. always gives me goosebumps
-
Has nobody mentioned McCartney?
He's got an excellent scream, whips it out on many of the early Beatles classics.
And Lennon is no slouch on the Plastic Ono Band album.
-
Chris Cornell's voice back in the early days of Soundgarden:
The opening note of Loud Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0xosEFe8Ik
And obviously, Jesus Christ Pose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14r7y6rM6zA
-
oh yeah!
I mean, obviously.
I thought for a while that it was Chino and he had some freaky androgynous vocal prowess.
-

Jay-Z
standard 'Good Morning, Captain' link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcYFlYFCCRI
whatever Brian was channeling here, he left it all out there on the tape. he must have been spent after, emotionally at least. I'd like to think, anyway.
it was like real hardcore's last scream, kind of. before Kurt was kicked into the spotlight, dragging what was left out with him, sending everyone else scattering in slants.
