White Stripes >>>>>>> post WS Jack White

 

[Clint Howard]

I just turned 38 in December, I was in my late teens early 20’s when the White Stripes and Strokes became a thing, they were the soundtrack to my young adulthood. I appreciate that they were able to help make rock music “cool” again for a short while. That being said for a younger generation, that was not there during the time I can see how it easily mixes in with a lot and of what came before. Not so much a revolution as a modern revival.

And those same kids will rave over how incredible the spectacularly mediocre Arctic Monkeys are.

Hey Hey, only most of their discography is mediocre. Leave their debut alone.

At least The White Stripes didn't unabashedly steal from black blues musicians, just mined them for ideas, a tradition as old as the genre itself.

I didn't realize posting one's opinion was gatekeeping now? I guess we're all gatekeepers aren't we?

your opinion is saying you don’t like and maybe why, maybe not. That’s not what you posted.

Without a doubt. It’s not even a contest in my opinion.

Arctic monkeys are the last great new band imo..every album different from the last...

AM are aggressively mediocre.

 

[supahypeag]

I streamed Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Rossini over the last week, and I can say, pretty definitely, that Arctic Monkeys sounds almost, but not quite, entirely unlike those people.

 

[IrishGoodbye]

AM are aggressively mediocre.

“Aggressively mediocre“ is such a way to describe something. Well done.

but I do disagree. To each their own!

Post white stripes jack White is partially what made me hate them (wasn't into led Zeppelin style blues rock in the first place), giving a premium pretentious 7" box set to what's probably jay z's worst album just made me cringe

The raconteurs "steady as she goes" is alright though

 

[gaporter]

I like Arctic Monkeys way more than the White Stripes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That song is inferior to basically every White Stripes single. I was so disappointed when it came out after being such a giant WS fan. It's just so.... toothless.

I have slightly more nostalgia for that song because it was on a singstar game
