Radiohead came around in 1985, Rites of Spring formed in 1984. If you think of screaming as a vocal technique in a general sense, I say Little Richard did a pretty good job at screaming his butt off. That was in the '50s. The Beatles screamed in Why Don't We Do it In the Road and Helter Skelter (as previously mentioned), and some thrash metal or early black metal bands must have been screamin' and growlin' before 1984.
