i like that!
+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.
second that by far my favorite of course it did get released on my bday too so i might be a little bit biased

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.
Get behind me satan= evil urges (both the bands 5th album)
icky thump= circuital
Hope mmj doesnt go on a 4 year break then end it.....
