I rarely listen to the white stripes, I like the raconteurs, I rarely listen to the Dead Weather, but I do recognise the utter brilliance of the musician that Jack White is.
And you'll see, in fourty years, people will still talk about him like they now talk about people like Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young or Tom Waits.
Mark my words. The guy is a genius.
And to prove I'm not biased, have a look at the link beneath my postings to see I've only got one Raconteurs album and that's it ;D.

I couldn't agree more. I've never understood the brilliance of Clapton.
It might just be me (us ;D), that could be true.
There's some songs of his I like. I like Let it Grow, I like the reasonably new song "Autumn Leaves" and I like some of his work with John Mayall. But I never felt like he deserved the status he has.
I've got a similar thing with Solo beatles. Apart from a few nice songs and probably the first two McCartney Solo Albums, I never quite liked the Beatles, Solo. I loved them together, btw.
