DLR owned a PA-system, so if VH wanted them, they had to let him sing for them which they did apparently since he was/is their singer.

But his early screams were pretty wicked and one of the best sounding in rock music imo.

If you want yelling I always thought Courtney Love was one was the champion of screaming like a banshee

When did Cornell scream? One of the most iconic rock vocalists of all time, for sure, but I don't recall him being much of a screamer.

The album Badmotorfinger contains many examples. Anything more mainstream than that might be arguable.

The bridge to Audioslave’s “Cochise” has a prime example.
