The Top Ten
1 Painkiller - Judas Priest
2 The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
3 Mysteria - Edguy
4 Ten Thousand Strong - Iced Earth

Two impressive screams by Tim Ripper Owens, one of them is an intro scream.

5 The Piper Never Dies - Edguy

The scream is on the song sample (if you don't know the song but wanna hear the scream).

6 Highway Star - Deep Purple
7 Child in Time - Deep Purple

The legendary screams that started it all (in metal). I didn't put this song higher only because it has slow parts.

8 Shot to Hell - Laaz Rockit

I am so happy - 2 of the screams are on the song sample. This is a great speed metal song by an underrated band.
Vox: Michael Coons (he's amazing).

9 Queen of the Ryche - Queensryche

Reminds me of Gillan's intro scream to Highway Star.

10 A Rose for Epona - Eluveitie

Chrigel Glanzmann screams with the line "Together we go down with our people". A harsh scream.

The Contenders
11 Fiddler on the Green - Demons & Wizards

A great melodic scream by Hansi Kursch but I didn't put it very high only because the song is a ballad.

12 Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Iron Maiden
13 My Last Sunrise - Demons & Wizards
14 Gangland - Iron Maiden

Probably Bruce Dickinson's highest note.
