Okay Dopers, this is a “Guilty Pleasure” kind of thread! There are a lot of songs out there, some good, some horrible, that you can just plain HOWL to! You know what I mean-put on the oldies station, roll up the windows, crank up the volume and go for it!
Some of my favorites-
Anything by the Rightous Brothers, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Love Hurts (Nazareth version), Town Without Pity, You Don’t Own Me, anything by Celine Dion, Without You, and the ultimate, All Time Howler-You Are My Destiny!
I think you get the idea. If it’s loud, overblown, grandious, and you have to pry your lungs off the windshield every time you sing along, it qualifies! Ending on an impossibly high note gets it extra points!
Come on, cast your vote!
I thought if something was a “howler” it was really bad!
Ok, I guess I would have to say “Dream On” by Aerosmith. At the end, I try to outhowl Steven Tyler.
“Black Dog” by Led Zeppelin is another one. But I can’t out scream Robert Plant…
Oh, no…not “Dream On” by Aerosmith…“What It Takes.”
“Without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life to a toss of the…
DAAAAAAAAAGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGGHGHGHGH-----AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIICE!!!”
My favorite song in the world to bellow along with, bar none. I try to catch every nuance of Steven Tyler’s voice…every angst-ridden, overdone, raspy, nasty, “holy shit I’m not 25 any more” fillip…I nail 'em. Aw yeah.

I would like to add Wilson Pickett, but I think his songs are more properly “grunters”.
And how could I forget Little Richard. He was howling when the rest of the world was still crooning.
