I agree with the fact that a guitar solo here and there doesn't make rock music rock music.
But, like everyone else said, and I would merely be reiterating the points already made, guitar solos aren't the only thing in music by The Black Keys, nor is it merely "rock" music.
I suggest listening again, maybe this time looking for the music, the feeling, and the soul rather than a genre to label the song with. Maybe this will help redefine the band and the music for you.
