In the spirit of bring this board back to some real, proper garagepunk topics, let's talk screams.  You know, "Yeah!", "Woo!", "Hey!", "Ow!"... who's got the best mid-song, mic-distorting, wildest, craziest, rawest scream in rock 'n' roll?  Little Richard may have been one of the originals, but I think that no one can HOWL like Jerry Roslie from the Sonics.  Who do you say?

definately Roslie, and his inbred family THE WAILERS("Hang Up") and the SWAMP RATS.

Iggy at the beginning of "TV Eye"

WHITEHOUSE-"Princess Disease"

Count Brockula on the SHOUT BAMALAMA podcasts. ;)
Yeah, the first two that came to my mind were Gerry Roslie and Iggy Pop. That scream at the beginning of "TV Eye" will stick with you for days.
chuck eddy's right: that's not Iggy-it's the Devil....
Great topic!

I really like the screams that Dave Fish from the beguiled used to let out. There's the slight hint of the deranged killer in there... nice.

and like others have mentioned Gerry Roslie has got to have one of the best set of lungs in the business! Man he lets rip!
I love Gerry Roslie's screams (of course), but there's a scream on the Wailers song "Hold" (from OUTBURST) provided by the drummer (he sings lead on that song) that just sends chills up my spine.

I figure no one really is a Beatles fan but there were some pretty good screams on some of those early songs.
Gerry Roslie of the Sonics... That one is almost a given. I would also add Adam Neal of the Hookers on the song "Kiss My Fuckin' Ass".
Jon Spencer at the beginning of "Skunk" first song of "Now I got worry" album.
And Quadrajets singer.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins. He got that name for a reason!
The female backup screamers on Ralph Nielson and the Chancellors...'Scream'....not only volume, but she (or they) just keep screaming and screaming and screaming....
Iggy at all the funhouse songs.In la blues especially where he does like o bobcat or something.
well, she's not rock and roll exactly, but diamanda galas scares the hell out of me
listening to SAVAGE KICK #5 today. Kopper played the Snics "have will will travel"....Gerry Roslie owns it...just close the fucking thread down!
