Rate The White Stripes Albums
 
I put on White Blood Cells for the first time in a while and have grown to like it even more.The white stripes have been kind of out of the limelight since the raconteurs started but are still a great band. I'm curious to see what everyone thinks is their best album.

I loved Elephant best, I feel like Jack's songwrting and guitar playing got no better than this.black math, hardest button to button, ball and biscuit,hypnotise and It's true that we love one another are all instant classics.Get Behind Me was sort of a dissapointment for me after that.

1.Elephant
2.White Blood Cells
3.De Stijl
4.Get Behind Me Satan
5.S/t

Man, I wish I could have seen them live!!! That would be out of this world. The best I got though was when Raconteurs opened for Bob Dylan at UMASS Amherst last fall. That was a great show. The Raconteurs sound so much better live than on cd. I almost cant listen to the regular album now. It just isnt the same.

I'd rather not because they're all ghastly.I hate them even more than U2.

dietzer123 02.03.2007 07:59 PM

1. s/t
2. Elephant
3. Get Behind Me Satan (although "Blue Orchid" is fantastic)

i saw them live in the summer of '05 with Sleater-Kinney. they were awesome.

I keep reading that thread title as "Rape the White Stipe's Albums" and I think you guys are discussing violating your REM records.

Inhuman 02.03.2007 10:48 PM

I never really had the desire to hear any of them. I don't mind some of their more minimalistic stuff though

They did a cover of Beefheart's Ashtray Heart that sucked. That's all I know besides the songs I've heard here and there on the radio or TV.

touch me i'm sick 02.03.2007 11:01 PM

they really are great live...

And by my post, it seems like I'm a big fan, but really, I care for like, 5 songs. I only know all the albums because (I own De Stijl,) my friend was a big fan, and made me listen to the albums.
