Not a bad buncha screams. Sorely missing: Paul McCartney's intro scream in The Beatles' Revolution, Ronnie James Dio's "Cryyyyyy Out" wail in Black Sabbath's Neon Knight's and any one David Lee Roth's screams on the 1st six Van Halen records. Let's go w/ Runnin' With the Devil!
Just in time for Halloween, here are the 31 best screams in music history, featuring Aerosmith, Olivia Rodrigo, Prince and more.

Canada is fighting for its sovereignty. The U.S. is fighting for... more expensive cans of Coke? That's why Canada has the upper hand. We're fighting to defend something, while the Americans are fighting to defend Trump's dumb pride

Hey @WestJet ... not that you really care about your customers, but fyi, these parasites / scammers are reaching out to anybody that reaches out to you on this platform trying to extract personal information and ultimately, $$.
Yep @WestJet is back! Had to be about 6 families that didn’t get their luggage at @Calgary_Airport last night, returning from Halifax. The arrogance & lack of care from certain staff members in baggage claims was really something. Way to appreciate your customers, #WestJet
