Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
There are a lot of great Who songs, but this one is all about Roger Daltrey's scream. To quote Whitman (and Dead Poet's Society), he sounds his "barbaric yawp" in defiance before finishing one of the great anti-establishment tunes with:
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss.
Beyond brilliant lyrics and Daltrey's vocal prowess, we have a solid rocker with amazing work from Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon, contributing a great jam session and memorable organ work before that aforementioned scream. I have an interesting habit of often hearing this song on my MP3 player on solo walks and it always energizes me.

And on top of having a great voice and scream, he's immortal! ;)
I had quite the little crush on Roger D when I was, like, 13.
Great song.
