I haven't heard a lot of Keys, but to me they seem like a slightly blusier Fu Manchu or at best QOTSA. It's stoner rock, more influenced by Sabbath than Zeppelin.
Show me some of their good shit and maybe I'll at least tip my hat to them. As of now, they're just sitting in Jack's massive shadow, and always will be unless I'm shown something worthwhile.
Plus, the Keys have become a mainstream party rock band. Also, whenever I say their name I feel like I"m saying "Blackies", and that's weird.

To me is still the same is music mainstream or not (whatever the mainstream is).
I donīt believe you will change your opinions when you heard these (I donīt have need to change it anyway, itīs just positive people have different opinions) but hereīs some of my favourite songs from brothers (although I think there is no bad song in that album):

As I said, I donīt think theyīre great, I think they just make quite enjoyable music, nothing new (like for example Warpaint).
I am a huge Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath fan. Iīm not a huge stoner fan, but Kyuss is just great! I also like some Monster Magnet albums, donīt like Queens of Stoneage that much, but their desert sessions 9 & 10 is just great! (thereīs Pj harvey also). I think thereīs no genre where I like all itīs bands, but thereīs not genre thatīs music I donīt like at all.
Although I first started that "who was first" I donīt think it is essential. And White Stripes is not first band with only guitar and drums, there was for example band called Deja Voodoo at eighties (the guitarist has only four strings)!
I think Black keys is mix of JSBE and Lenny Kravitz.
