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?

My first thought was that scream at the beginning of the Wailers' Hang Up too, but I've also always dug the nutty Alan Barnicoat screaming on this song:

I saw the thread title and was about to vote for Jerry Roslie but you beat me to it!

Oh baby
Stomp and scream baby
Wail baby

Do the thing, move it 'round
Just a little bit, come on baby
Ya' got a good thing goin'.
Yes, yes, baby

Stomp and scream baby
Don't mean maybe
You're my baby, you're my baby
I don't mean maybe

Oh baby
Stomp and scream baby

...'Screaming Lord Sutch'...

new bomb turks- defiled.... yeah i love the sonics, but the scream after the instrumental bit before the last chorus on defiled does it for me every time! the "hooting" as the feedback fades away just tops it off!!!!

Bit out on a limb here but John Lennon's primal screams at the end of 'Mother' are fairly heartfelt.

Well the obvious answer is Bunker Hill!:

Also, it might not have been quite nearly as feral as Iggy but I always liked the sound of Dave Davies voice when he pushed his limit on those early tunes.

Cool . I was reading where Alice Bag was regarded as a Minority , twice , for being Latina in the L.A. Punk scene. That did make her unique , but she was'nt alone. There was Kid Congo Powers , Ron Reyes , Robert Morales (aka El Vez.), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (mixed.) , Javiero and Alejandro Escovedo , Chris D. (?) , Karlos Kabalerro (?) , Rosie Flores (ex - Punk Rocker.) and many others....But , I'm drawing a blank. Lo siento mucho.

Here's another one...
The scream in Watch Your Step by The Bare Facts.

Happens at around the 1:40 mark.

She was mine by the Beaux Jens (at 2:44). 

"I think I'm gonna scream.... WUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

 

Gets me every time!

The scream before the solo in the unreleased version of No More by The Morning Dew. It sounds like he's getting stabbed...plus that version is just fucking awesome.

Kurt Cobain's scream in his cover of KISS' "Do You Love Me."

This is a great post. All of my favorites screamers were mentioned, though I think Little Richard was the true master.

 

One of my all time favorite screams is ultra primitive 60's garage punker from The Shandells - Go Go Gorilla! Makes me smile every time I hear this one:

It definitely counts , but , The Phantom's original scream on "Love Me" mk 1 , is utterly horrifying , as is all of "Paralyzed" by The Legendary Stardust Cowboy , as much as I love it !
