18 Record Stores You Should Visit Before You Die

Nice of Business Insider to include Toronto’s Rotate This on their list.  But where’s Rough Trade East? Sister Ray on Berwick? Amoeba Records on Sunset?  Grimey’s in Nashville?  And while we’re in Nashville, what about Jack White’s Third Man?  Heck, I’d also include Soundscapes and Kops Records in Toronto, too.

I’m sure there’s more, too.  Any additional suggestions of absolutely awesome record stores?
