Well, the first albums I got from them were White Blood Cells and Elephant. I could never understand why Elephant was the highest regarded of the two. Every track on WBC is brilliant; so raw and stripped down Jack's guitar, and (no matter what people say) Meg's drumming, is perfect. It's interesting, other drummers in the garage rock revival play the same style, yet only Meg gets the ****. People just get scared if the drummer doesn't have a ****. Anyway, I must've listened through WBC 20 timies, pure awesomeness.
