Who do you think had the best voice for screaming?
Here's my (short) list:
Rob Halford
Ian Gillan
David Wayne
Warrel Dane
I'm not talking about death growling or grunting or anything "modern" like that :) ..........just controlled, high pitched, in tune, screaming in classic rock and metal. Please add your suggestions. I'd be very interested to hear what people have to say.

The screams at the end of Stagger Lee are nothing short of inhuman (4:09) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbe5RERDh4k
He was even cast as the voice of The Mummy in the 1999 movie.

Linkin Park - Given Up (Live 17sec scream of Chester) - YouTube
17 second scream is incredible really, no matter if you're a fan of the band, but Chester in his prime was incredible
