benjamin Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Who's got the best scream ever? I want to say Roger Daltrey (The Who) in "Won't Get Fooled Again," but I think I have to disqualify it due to being included on CSI Miami. And to show favortism Jeff Tweedy's howl on "I'm A Wheel" has got to be thrown into the ring. So what else is out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Joe Cocker's scream on "With a Little Help.." has to be up there high on the list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Bob Mould in Husker Du's cover of Eight Miles High.He basically screams an entire verse towards the end of the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Lennon on MotherI was thinking of that one. Bob Mould in Husker Du's cover of Eight Miles High.He basically screams an entire verse towards the end of the song.I remember a friend telling me the first time he heard that he asked someone with him, "Is that guy going to be alive at the end of this song?" Another great Mould screamer is the last track of Black Sheets of Rain, "Sacrifice, Sacrifice" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
