The Greatest SCREAMS in Rock History

About this episode

The episode features a countdown of the greatest screams in rock history, along with discussions on music experiences and a new intern's contributions.

This week on Past Tens, Dave and Milt welcome a fresh face to the show: new intern Jason, a Tulane University student possibly as obsessed with music as the Past Tens bozos. Jason talks about catching A$AP Rocky's "Don't Be Dumb" Tour at TD Garden, surviving the madness of Jazz Fest, and introduces Dave and Milt to the wonderfully bizarre world of YouTube legend Nardwuar. Meanwhile, Dave finally crosses a major movie off the bucket list, sharing his thoughts after watching 2001: A Space Odyssey for the very first time. Verdict? Beautiful to look at... but maybe HAL could've picked up the pace a little. Then it's time for the main event: THE GREATEST SCREAMS IN ROCK HISTORY From primal soul howls to arena-rock shrieks, the guys count down the ten most unforgettable screams ever put on tape. SPOILER ALERT… Here’s the list below. … 🙂 ;) 3 … 2 … 1 … … #10 Little Richard — Good Golly, Miss Molly#9 Wilson Pickett — Land of 1000 Dances#8 Aerosmith — Dream On#7 James Brown — Get Up Offa That Thing#6 Guns N' Roses — Welcome to the Jungle (yes, THAT 17-second scream)#5 Led Zeppelin — Immigrant Song#4 The Beatles — Can't Buy Me Love#3 The Beatles — RevolutionT-#1 The Who — Won't Get Fooled…
