The White Stripes are alright but ive always perceived that they don't have an original sound that defines them as an original band. ive always thought Jack emulates the sound of other bands and just adds a pinch of originality to it. I think he's a great guitarist and that Meg is a good minimalistic drummer but again, to me their work sounds more derivative than original.
I respect them both as a musicians but idk, their music to me just sounds alright but it doesn't reach me on a personal level. Also he totally ripped off Charles thompson's stage name.
Black Francis = Jack White
Sh*t can't be a coincidence..
