Yes yes I know that there are a lot of strokes haters on the board but you have to admit that their first album is very very decent. In fact it's fucking brilliant. That's why I started this poll.
Pick your favorite song of the "Is this it" album.

I excluded trying your luck because I thought it was the only song I didn't like and I had to eliminate one due the fact that you can only have 10 options.

i would use a much more offensive word than "decent" to describe this album.
"rip off" and "overhyped" just start to scratch the surface just a teeny bit. |

Negative Nancy's indeed, Trasher. The Strokes are excellent. its the whole critics darlings thing.. the songs are genius in their simplicity.

is this it was brilliant
room on fire was not so good first impressions of earth has its moments, but is 10000 times better than room on fire edit: fun trivia, when i was dropping off janine habeck (playmate) off at the airport, i put on Is This It? and she loved it. I gave her the album and now she's obsessed |

I think there's no comparison between the Strokes and Television. Television sounded like a perpetual guitar fight, Verlaine on one side, Lloyd on the other side. Strokes guitarists are not so bad, but you can't say they 're incredible. Is this it is not Marquee Moon. Not comparable.
Edit : My choice : Someday |

I wore this album out when it was released. I have the album after it but I don't think I've ever listened to it really. I think I may have to.
