the white stripes are nothing special, in my opinion. i'm not going to use the "we've heard it all before!" argument against them, as i like plenty of backward-looking guitar music, but they sound quite ploddy to me. "fell in love with a girl" is the only really catchy pop song they've produced, everything else is just cock-rock.

Listen to 'Hypnotize' of their latest album, about as catchy as you can get (except for 'fell in love with a girl' that is)

I'm not even sure why I'm bothering: this is between one of my favorite bands evah and one of the most overhyped acts of the last few years.

Yeah, I always wonder why there are so many disparate Taking Sides. Wasn't there just a Stereolab vs. Queens of the Stone Age one? I love Stereolab, and I like QOTSA more than I thought I would, but I can't even begin to compare the two.

one similarity : both have made at least one record with no bass.
― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Friday, 2 May 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)
Wow. I'd say pretty much the opposite. I can't think of a band more consistent than Pavement, but I'd probably like the White Stripes a lot more if they could make at least one album that doesn't have filler.

White Stripes vs. Flat Duo Jets vs. Cash Money vs. JSBX vs. Ativan vs. Tony Williams Lifetime vs. Thurston Moore/William Hooker vs. The Cramps

yeah but this is a false dichotomy. We smarmy English major types "mean" our injokes as deeply as all these raw-emotion types mean whatever unexamined nonsense they're on about. That the feelings we express by means of our in-jokes aren't bombastic doesn't make them any less genuine.

WS generally has catchier songs, and ironically, both of them seem to be influenced by a lot of the same things-- old country, punk... their interpretations are just really different.
I don't really accept that weak "BUT THEY REALLY MEAN THEIR JOKES" arguement, though.

i disagree strongly - wisecracking, smart alec-ishness: it's all as genuine and interesting to observe as someone howling in their pained wail and beating furiously at their guitar. there is more than one way of communicating emotion, it doesn't always have to be done with 100% clarity.
