"The Great Gig In the Sky," Pink Floyd.

Clare Torrey, I believe was the woman called in to do the very literal musical screaming for this song. It is incredible.

Heart were great in the Dreamboat Annie era. Crazy on You and Magic Man were fine tracks, but later on in the 80s and all... euch! :o
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

Bruce Springstein..Boooorrn in the USA!!! a born shouter. Jimmy Barnes´s(Cold chisel)blood curdling shouts are legendary and once trigured a riot at the Star hotel which he later shouted as a song.The mere mention of his name invites a shout of " Baaarrnnsie! "in Newcastle , Australia. Mike

Just heard "Layla" on the radio, and I noticed that is pretty much a shouter by Clapton as well.

And then, of course, there is "Shout" by Otis Day & the Nights. :D
(or whatever their actual name is)

That was Anthrax, not Slayer.

I've grown up listening to and playing metal so a large proportion of my favourite music involves shouting/screaming as well as singing.

Sick Of It All
Killswitch Engage
Refused
Pantera
Deftones
the aforementioned Rage Against The Machine

all of those have some great shouting

If you're interested in a hearing just what the human voice is capable of try and find a copy of Adult Themes For Voice by Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantomas, Tomahawk). A whole album recorded with nothing more than a four track and a microphone.

No disrepect chris, but a copy of La Traviata might be more illuminating.

The secret is that "Adult Themes for Voice" is actually Mike Patton's
Industrial version of La Traviatta! (... or was it Carmen?)

I'm not familiar with that but wikipedia (not the most accurate reference I know) says it's an opera. Which would I would take to mean it's quite traditional and not really related to shouting or screaming. But then I know next to nothing about opera (apart from buying my mum the odd cd at christmas).

I just thought I'd suggest something a litle different from the norm. The patton album is his attempt at making music solely with his voice as an intrument. It's incredibly bizarre in places and amazing in others.

I jest.

One of my own favourite examples of vocal dexterity is Medicine Music from Bobby McFerrin.

Not a lot of shouting though.. :wink:

Bjork's "Medúlla" similarly experiments with using the human voice
as sole instrumentation. And nothing she ever did could be
considered weird.
