The White Strpies Love them or hate them?
 

I personally like them especially the album De Stijl

Assuming yes means I like them, yes.

they're nothing past "Ok"

white blood cells is worth some playtime
the other stuff is mediocore at best.

Exactly how I feel about them.

They're OK. I'm never going to buy one of their records, but I don't feel the need to turn over when they come on either. It did irritate me that the press decided their third LP made them 'best newcomers', however that works, but that isn't their fault.

They're okay. I'd buy a "best of" but probably nothing else.

One of my favorite bands sense 7th grade

I love them. I got a softspot for the first album, but I like the others as well. But it's like alcohol, They are like a drink that's good every once in a while, but if you drink it to much you get sick.

White Stripes = Martini

Sonic Youth = Beer

i like "hotel yorba", that's it.

They're pretty innofensive. I feel strangely attracted to the drummer though (don't know her name).

I'm managing to stay alive with barely aknowledging their existence.

Yep, me too. Meg is her name

it's coz she never talks,girls who do not talk are attractive.
edit : on the other side,some girls became attractive when they talk...

It's a pity when a beautiful girl turns out to be an intolerable when she starts talking. But being deceived is even worse, so she might as well get it over with.

Meg is pretty good lookin'. I saw them at Street Scene '05. They put on a really good show. I like the Stripes. They are one of many of the 'THE' bands that I first listened to when I first started becoming a music fan.
Picture that I took

She's one of the better drummers at the moment... not in her technical ability, but in her actual playing. I can't stand that man's voice though. I want to hurt him, hurt him bad.

I find them offensive mainly because Peel used to play loads and loads of that sort of thing, and none of it ever troubled the general consciousness, and I really don't get what's so special about them.

For mainstream they're excellent. Against any other standard they're merely pretty good.

I can't stand them. Meg is cute, though.

i agree with meg being attractive for whatever reason. i loved every album up until that filth they call get behind me satan. what a load of crap that was, except for The Nurse and Blue Orchid. De Stijl is a fantastic album.

meg is probably one of the worst drummers, and i hope the white stripes don't make another album, (they can only go downhill from here, and the raconteurs are pretty rockin' now. and the drummer in the raconteurs has some talent on drums other than just... utter shit.)

I think Get Behind Me Satan was a fucking brilliant album. They seem more inspired than ever. They had to progress in some way, if they went to make a WBC or Elephant II, it would have been a total bore. I'm glad they mixed up the formula a bit, and made one of the best "mainstream" albums in 2005.

Yeah I thought Get Behind Me was a really good move. I liked it a lot. Though I agree with k that The Nurse and Blue Orchid were definitely the best songs. Take Take Take was really good, too.

I got very bored with Blue Orchid. But yeah, The Nurse, Take, Take, Take, and Red Rain where among the best.

I actually got bored with Red Rain because I used it to practice slide guitar so much that I can't listen to it anymore. But it was a great song prior to that; almost mentioned it.

oh i do have to say though that i like that doorbell song.

Yeah, that one is so amzingly chatchy. A great single.

Meg's hot.
Jack is cool.
Jack also has a fuckin fantastic voice.
Nice and simple songs.

And someone I can't seem to get into the white stripes :(

jack does have a nice voice.

i liked the stripes how they were (not attempting to be country). there "garage rock revival" days were much better......

i fuckin love the Stripes! Jack White could shite on a CD, Design a red and white cover. Release it and i would be waiting there for it to come out

Went to see the Racounteurs in Dublin last night... well fuckin cool. Jack was a rockin

I saw them live to, they were awsome. Someone said that they sucked live, but that was pure bullshit. Did they play Bang, Bang when you saw them?

yeah they did, t'was a right good version too. well impressed, they are right good live. its jack white givin it socks, what more do people want.

I can dig them.

I don't care about them.

Although the White Stripes aren't immensely talented they put out great material. It's pretty basic rock but it feels so refreshing compared to the rest of the shit in the pop music scene right now. Jack White is a great guitarist and Meg is a competant drummer. She may not be Keith Moon but she fulfills her duties in the band (and she's cute, too). The White Stripes are by far one of my more favorite mainstream acts. They're pretty much the only mainstream rock band that I listen to because they don't conform to modern musical fads. Just good ol' fashioned hard blues/garage rock. Excellent group.

I honestly think that if they weren't around nobody would have been half-arsed to even think of inventing them.
