I don't undersand why we're entertaining the argument "the white stripes stole their sound from Lynard Skynard" (who by the way put their song up for use in a KFC commercial speaking of sell outs).
You could line a million White Stripes hating *******s up and ask them who the stripes stole their sound from and none of them would say Lynard Skynard. I mean, lets not even address the fact that the blues have been a part of rock music since the outset of the genre, to assume:
1. Lynard Skynard started it
2. That no one prior to their existance did it
3. The stripes owe them anything
is ridiculous. This statement belies the notion that whoever made this argument doesn't know what he's talking about.
The sellout thing, not only a misnomer, but that word is forever being applied to bands people don't like, not bands who actually sold out.
