Anyone seen Gimme Danger?
Worth paying $5 for?

These “definitive” lists are quite tiresome. Definitive according to whom? Have they surveyed every person in the world, have they? They certainly don’t speak for me.

Every music magazine/radio station/whatever has printed a “definitive” list at some point (some of them several times over…), which of course has been skewed by whatever their demographic is.

I can give a top 20 list of what I consider to be the best rock albums, which people can take whatever they like from or shitcan it. I certainly won’t claim it as definitive though…

I’m not getting any love in the other thread so thought I’d come and harass you here.

See below @swoodley.

Is there a single person that considers Screamadelica a rock record? I’d say just about any other album they’ve released is much closer in definition. It’s a Dance/House record, and not one that’s aged very well. XTRMTR is probably the only Primal Scream album you really need.
