Why?

That would depend on what you define as transcending their genre, but Screamadelica in particular is an oft cited example of a record that is hard to pin down in genre. Just the wikipedia article lists the following genres for that record: Alternative rock, alternative dance, neo-psychedelia, Madchester, dance-rock, acid house.

I love the album to bits, for as much of a hipster as that makes me.
