As a long time music writer (that's journalist, not musician), I'm quite happy to go along with the opinion that the White Stripes are the greatest thing to happen to rock and roll in at least a decade.
You really have to see them, though. I've seen a lot of bands, and Meg and Jack White really blew my circuits at the Livid Festival last year - easily one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
Hype? Sure. But truly great bands inspire that kind of devotion and division.

Well, I don't know what your tastes are, Dyso, but why wait that long?
The Beatles were brilliant. So are the White Stripes. Just because there's a squillion record sales between the two (although the Stripes are doing nicely thanks) doesn't mean jack ... oops, pardon the pun.
So there. I've hung my red and white colours to the mast. To me, the greatest thing since at least Nirvana and probably the Ramones - and I've seen both of those bands.
Not that I expect any of you to care - except Inthecoldnight, of course, and it was to him/her I'm replying!

After realising this thread isn't about Collingwoods alternative strip, I checked out some of the songs from The White Stripes.
I hadn't previously heard of the name however I immediately recognised some of their tunes. Mainly "Seven Nation Army" and "Hotel Yorba". They're good songs but not really my taste. I like "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground"(?) and "Jimmy the Exploder" much more.
They're a good band and they definitely have an original style but it's not for me, I like the heavy stuff. |

Very deep, very hard lyrics those ones...........

My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
It was a baby boy
So we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun
And it was 1981 |
Not much better, but painting a more complicated image maybe?...........

| LOL! You raised a very good point with that reply Eunos. I think all musicians can be accused of writing some lyrically dumb songs, sometimes. |

Is this political comment on their lyrics "ray gun" (Reagan 1981)? Are they referring to nuclear war with the referrence about "the button"?
I really don't want to think too much about song lyrics...
I'm still trying to decipher Midnight Oils work after following them for 20 years
