magisme Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Decided on a whim to throw Elephant on this morning. God damn, I love this band. I want more albums from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I fucking LOVE The White Stripes. Meg still lives very near me and I'm told she frequents a bar that we're in now and again. I would kinda like to spot her, but I'm also afraid I'd loose my shit and freak her out haha.I'm hoping that this year's RSD piece is finally Get Behind Me Satan as it's the only LP I don't own.I have many, many, many favorites, but here's one of my Top 5:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrI8VJXrSEg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I LOVE the stripes! I remember my family and I bought three of their records at once and for a whole year they were all I listened to! I bummed they broke up What do you guys think of Jack White's projects outside of the White Stripes? Personally I like some songs he does here and there but I think his ego is too big.EDIT: even tho I don't like his attitude, I'll admit he's very original and deserves credit for that both in and out of TWS Edited March 1, 2014 by rocknroll41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Blunderbuss is just OK in my book. There are some really good songs and there are some real clunkers, but even the really good songs don't come close to the best Stripes stuff.I'm on this track now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Jack and Meg are motherfuckin boss. One of the few recent bands, I guess since around 2000 or so, that I can place on my all time top list. Love them. One of my favs from Elephant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Fuggit. I'm gonna listen to Get Behind Me Satan now too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 If I had to choose, I guess Elephant would be my #1, Satan #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Where's the love for Icky Thump? That album is loaded with bad ass cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's all good Russ. They can't all be #1! I love Icky Thump. The fact that it's my third or maybe 4th favorite says a hell of a lot about their discography. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Inspired by this thread, I listened to Get Behind Me Satan straight through yesterday for the first time in years. What a bad ass album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Come on, come on, come on, come on and give it to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Come on, come on, come on, come on and give it to me! What a sweet ass riff. This is such a great example of what the Stripes did. Eclectic and strange but genius at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I was listening to Seven Nation Army on my work out this morning, only White Stripes song I have on an 8 hour 29 minute playlist; it was on random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Great band, but am I the only fan who strongly dislikes "Ball and Biscuit"? It feels very aimless and doesn't have the energy the other songs on Elephant have. Makes me thankful they didn't do any longer songs outside of it.But yeah great band. Elephant is my favorite.

magisme Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!I fuckin love Ball and Biscuit. So much attitude. And some of the best guitar moments on any Stripes album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Inspired by this thread, I listened to Get Behind Me Satan straight through yesterday for the first time in years. What a bad ass album.Maybe since it was after White Blood Cells and Elephant, it took me awhile to get into Satan. But once I did, it's a classic in my eyes. And they bang these albums out in like 1 and 2 weeks, crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
