What is the single best recorded rock scream in history?
I mean specific screams, not the over all best screaming individual.
Let me start by nominating Dolf de Datsun, of The Datsuns, at 3:35 in Fink for the Man off their self-titled album. There's a good warm-up one a few seconds earlier and then he nails it. (What Would I Know, off the same album has some solid scream-work, too).

Some of you may have heard of this obscure little number :
Clare Torry, Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky, starts 1:09

It’s good, but not really a scream, is it?

It certainly stops being a scream later in the song, but the first section at the very least contains screams, even if you don't think it's all screaming.
Highly subjective, if course.
Hey, I know another obscure track with werewolf howls in it, I suppose you'll be disallowing them too .
