+1.  John Peel (RIP) was always right; The praise for the White Stripes was lofty: The late, great BBC Radio One DJ John Peel called them "the most exciting band since punk or Jimi Hendrix."

Cannot believe it has been 10 yrs since I first listened to that album, wow, where does the time go?  Great article, still love The White Stripes.

Still is a fantastic album and I cannot believe it's this old already.

It's not even their best album, but it may be the most important. I agree with Mr. Peel's sentiments.

Gotta say, De Stijl is a far greater album... not to belittle White Blood Cells or anything.  But really Jack White can do no wrong.

wow I remember I had enough dough to buy one album and I was between the strokes is this it and wbc...I'm still listening to the latter today

I agree, but it doesn't have the anthems of a White Blood Cells. De Stijl is their best album beginning to end; all their albums are must-owns though (and all different).

I don't know about everyone else but "Get Behind Me Satan" is my least favorite.  Best song on that album was "The Denial Twist"

That's my favorite and I think their best, most diverse record.

I cant say its their best, but I think GBMS is severely underrated. Its called their experimental album, and because it doesnt have any dirty blues or garage punk I guess were supposed to call it "experimental" for the Stripes. I understand its more piano driven than their other albums, but I love it.

Best album IMO is De Stijl...Most important album? Either WBC or Elephant.
