" Ooooh. Three notes in and it was a bad ecstasy flash back [this is not good] ;)

THIS is what you were looking for"

He replied, "[this is good] Okay you win. I suck at music. :)"

So of course I had to go back and make sure he knew great every other one of their songs was. So I told him:

"Primal scream is the best band ever. I would take them over Pink Floyd or the Clash hands down, without one second's hesitation. Check out the collection. I have been contemplating a post. I think it might be time. It's a tough one, if you listen to a bunch of different songs, I defy you to classify them into one category."

Ready to sample their many genres? The double dog dare is... I say there is no way you can put them into ONE category, not that anyone's been trying... I'm just being a smart ass.

From my comment on zenken's blog piece, salva nos.

We have flat out classic Rock & Roll, reminding me of Marc Bolan.

We're Gonna Boogie

Primal Scream

we have Saturday night, clap your hands and sing along.

Dolls

Primal Scream

We have flat out twang.

Country Girl

Primal Scream

College radio or bluesy pop, may be? A favorite.

Loaded

Primal Scream

Gospelish, even.

Movin' on Up I

Primal Scream

Then we have some something even I can not classify.

Kowalski

And my personal favorite, Kowalski's twin brother in genre defining frustration...

The Big Man And The Scream Team Meet The Barmy Army Uptown (Full Strength Fortified Dub)

Primal Scream, Irvine Welsh And On-U Sound System

I offer my second favorite, something that loaded as "club" in my itunes library?

The last two deserve head phones, at full volume. Yes, seriously.

You are welcome.

You should also check out Whale, Massive Attack and Sunscreem in my library. If you liked Primal Scream you may like the others as well.

Alright. You just might end up filling up what room is left on my iPod... :)

just ask if you want the actual files sent to you, I have 82 songs you might like

check my photos for the 3 newest pics, for a list of the 82 songs in the club, house, acid, electronica, dub, et al folder of my itunes library, which is small I only have 1,024 songs.

Hmm. I have 3,816 items. Not all good, but I have everything from my cds, and sometimes I like to listen to a whole album because sequencially the lesser parts work with the greater. Not always. I was thinking of picking up some Orbital tracks. Admittedly, I like electronica, though I think that genre varies greatly (into techno, industrial, etc.) enough to keep my interest. Hey, I'm not the only one who digs TCM.... :) Though I will deep deeper into Primal Scream now. Thanks!
