The White Stripes are one of the prvieleged few in my top 5 favourite bands, but why are they constantly being deemed "innovative"...Much of their music copycats early blues rock, like Leadbelly, and Jack White would tell you that himself. Fair enough they put a 21st century edge on things and the minimalisms a bit different but theyre not exactly pulling everything out of thin air. The new albums pretty avant-garde though. Yeah the Rapture are great, but well have to wait for a follow-up to see if they take it anywhere...In the meantime, LCD Soundsystems the only punkfunk for me...
Hmm...What was the topic again?
