The White Stripes are a Grammy Award-winning American rock music duo from Detroit, Michigan consisting of songwriter Jack White on guitar, piano, lead vocals, and Meg White on drums, percussion and vocals. The group rose to prominence as part of the garage rock revival with their successful albums, White Blood Cells and Elephant. The White Stripes are known for their raw low fidelity sound and simplicity of composition and arrangement mostly inspired by punk rock, American blues, folk rock, and country music. July 14, 2007 marks the tenth anniversary of the band. An anniversary show to be held in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, sold out in twelve minutes. Discography:1999 The White Stripes 2000 De Stijl 2001 White Blood Cells 2003 Elephant 2005 Get Behind Me Satan 2007 Icky Thump   www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5c5c1AULXkWhat do you guys think of this band, and how do you think the new album will be?

I like them quite a lot. White Blood Cells, Elephant, and Get Behind Me Satan are all absolutely phenomenal, and their self-titled and De Stijl are still great. I hope Icky Thump is good. The single is promising.

I got Icky Thump Vinyl on reserve at my fav. shop, so next tuesday couldn't get here fast enough. I just recently discovered Jack wrote 'We are going to be friends', a song I first heard off the Jack Johnson Curious George soundtrack and feel in love with. After seeing the beginning of Napoleon Dynamite on Comedy Central the other night, it hit me harder than any realization has ever struck me: Thats a baller ass White Stripes song. I promptly went out and got the 'White Blood Cells' disc and listened to it enough to need to own Elephant. GBMS is my least favorite, but still a good one.

you heard the album, beed? is "icky thump" the best song? if not, or even if it is, what other songs off the album should i check out? i might not get a chance to buy the album right away. "elephant" is a masterpiece, by the way. i can't believe my dad sold his white stripes stuff.

I haven't heard a lot of them, but I do like The Raconteurs, which Jack is a part of.

Download every song off of it, it is really their best album.... i listened to the whole thing but like 2-3 songs and it is amazing. i might like it more than "elephant" i don't know yet. there are just so many great songs on it, and they go through a lot of different genres and stuff, too. anyone who hasn't gotten it yet, must. |

Yeah, the album is perfect. I've listened to it about fifteen times, and I just got it, too.
