It's always a bit painful when you enter a "Top Whatever In Music" thread and find that your list doesn't quite fit the topic. So, make your own rules and list! :D

My contribution:

TOP FIVE SCREAMS IN MUSIC

I'm not talking constant screamers (those are boring), I'm talking about primal howls that add to the feel of a song (but don't dominate it) or just come right outta nowhere! :D

<spoiler=5: Art Star by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs><youtube=4PBl2qsYtDo&start=77&end=106>

This one gets on here because, while it's not a very impressive scream, it's bookended by "doot doos" and spoken-word verses. The surreality alone elevates it to the top five.

This is the best song that :wumpscut: ever put out.

<youtube=QEc4zQ80NFs&start=333>

It's also the most utterly terrifying song :wumpscut: ever put out, and that's saying a LOT.

<spoiler=3: Half Day Closing by Portishead>Portishead, pioneers of trip-hop, are known for their slower and more pleasant music, often in a minor key, with the ever-fragile and slightly weepy voice of Beth Gibbons cutting through the mix. So when you're used to Beth's voice sounding like it couldn't even move a feather at full force, and you're listening to a melancholy and surprisingly loud set of choruses where it sounds like her voice is at its limits in Half Day Closing, it's always a bit of a shock when... this happens.

<youtube=K6JTjhWUUyI&start=154&end=192>

It's even more jarring live!

<youtube=GebQWXW0bAI&start=176&end=216>

<spoiler=2: Careful With That Axe, Eugene by Pink Floyd>Oh come on, you knew this was going to end up in here somewhere.

<youtube=sNnuDkZC5Ks&start=185&end=230>

It's pretty much the current set standard for "sudden out-of-nowhere howl of the damned". Why? Because that's what Pink Floyd does.

<spoiler=1: Come To Daddy (Pappy Mix) by Aphex Twin>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

<youtube=h-9UvrLyj3k&start=246&end=280>

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ohh I've got an idea...

*ahem*

THE TOP FIVE SHORTEST SONGS IN MY LIBRARY!!![footnote]not counting soundtracks, purely spoken tracks or mere ambient noise. Length is measured by my Winamp and Audacity.[/footnote]

Number One, this track is fucking crazy!

English title: Now, I will rip off your balls!

Creepy french children-style music from the 70's!

The first track from this video it is. Thank you Secret Chiefs for providing me with an abundance of crazy ultra-short sound-bites to choose from!

The shortest foray into grindcore I know. Also: Zombies!

Top 5 unclean vocalist on my iTunes.






It was either unclean vocals or clean, clean would have been way to much of challenge. Even this was a challenge.

Top 5 headbangable metal songs (basically, the songs I just cannot listen to without headbanging, usually due to an immensely appropriate riff alongside a catchy drum beat)

Vader - Torch of War

Hail of Bullets - DAK (that fuckin' groove riff!)

Hail of Bullets - Nachthexen

Entombed - Revel in Flesh

Carpathian Forest - Knokkelmann


EDIT: Better make it a top 6, since I forgot this fucking beast.

Coffins - Altars in Gore
