Absolutely no argument here.
Some might be so caught up with being "edgy" that they can't recognize the brilliance of a band that went from being underground to getting Grammy nods and SPIN covers. I am not one of those people.
For a long time I didn't want to like any band that sounded anything like Led Zeppelin, because I hated Led Zeppelin (because I had just finished loving them and made a giant about-face) lol!
NEway, I think the Stripes are freaking great. The Strokes may have had a knack for melodic post-new-wave Velvety pop, but the White Stripes actually ROCKED. I swear, there is more energy in the first three notes of "Dead Leaves..." than in the entire Strokes or Hives catalog.
