Now that they're gone, let's praise the shrewd marketing (maybe their greatest talent?) for hiding the fact that they were an occasionally excellent minor band.

I said this on some other thread not long ago, but if The White Stripes had a standard "good" drummer, we wouldn't be talking about them right now. Her style is an ESSENTIAL component of the band.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Elephant was one of my favorite albums during college. I played the hell out of that album. Even though I didn't like Jack's opinion on music, I respected his musicianship. Also, Meg was a great drummer for the sound they were going for. I thought ilxor frowned upon the conventional, rockist approach to playing an instrument.
Anyway, here is hoping they do a Jay-Z and get back together in two years. Haha.

i like minimal stuff. and the kinda minimal approach here (guitar + drums) w/ big riffs and simple drums and not much else works pretty well for this stuff. plus, i was in lolcollege when White Blood Cells and Elephant came out and who didn't love those albums as a late teen early 20s budding record collector??

Good time to quite IMO, they were last decade's thing. I don't think they ever put out an album I loved start to finish but they certainly had more fantastic songs than any 00s rock band I can think of except the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Plus, Jack White just had such obvious star quality and vocal presence in a way that very few 00s frontmen could even get close to.

Spacemen 3 would've sounded better with Bernard Purdie behind the kit
White Stripes know they're insufficiently goth for a '10s band. Times have changed.

I never minded them, but I haven't bought any of their records either. They've always seemed to me to be the last band that will get inducted into the RNR Hall of Fame before the doors are shuttered forever on that place in 2023.
― Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 3 February 2011 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link
kind of imagine dylan would be white's ultimate white whale, in terms of producing an album. he's even baiting dylan by having wanda jackson cover "thunder on the mountain."
― tylerw, Thursday, 3 February 2011 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link
eh "I Threw It All Away" is just a couple verses tacked onto the beginning of "I Ain't That Lonely Yet"
meh

i have more stripes records (lots of singles) than i thought i did. still think most of their ballady/gentler stuff is generally their weakest (even the stuff like got her in your pocket, jack sounds like hes trying too hard to be earnest/tender) but i give him some respect for being one of the few mainstream rockers to say something about immigration (even if it did sound like a bad prince lyric).
