Nazareth dude is Dan McCafferty, and yeah, he's fucking awesome. I wish AC/DC had picked him instead of Brian Johnson to step in when Bon Scott died, honestly.
Other good options: Angry Anderson from Rose Tattoo, Joel O'Keeffe from Airbourne, Lydia Lunch (at least in her Teenage Jesus and the Jerks days).
Amazing photo of McCafferty:

this is not an exhaustive list, just wanted to compile a quintet of shrieky, throaty ice cream headache vocalists and have everybody debate which one was best.

Joplin is my favorite: ritual emotional displays and struggles that draw me in, rather than driving me back to art appreciation (not exclusively, although that can be part of it), though I can't claim them as personally "cathartic" to the same degree, same kind of experience as her kind romantic could, and especially the way she spoke from and to the experience of many women (though not exclusively). And the way she can start intensely, or build to it even in the midst of, say, "Me and Bobby McGee." Seems to be prefiguring shrieky protometal etc. guys, incl. young Plant, and even, on some of the live boots, the pitch adventures of free jazz saxophonists--free jazz vocalists too, thinking of Linda Sharrock on Sonny S.'s Black Woman, prefiguring the avant vocal sounds of Diamanda Galas, with LaDonna Smith as a link between JJ and DG. Also her choice of material, and (usually) musical companions, not that she and they made perfect albums.

James Brown sometimes, like "This Is A Man's World": He's lost! in the wilderness...He's lost! in the bitterness..." Wilson Pickett, for instance on "Hey Jude", as Duane Allman eggs him on---not that he needed much encouragement; there was often at least a little shriekiness in there, like "Land of 1000 Dances."
