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. |

So you are saying the White Stripes sold out because they didn`t experiment? I have to ask , have you actually heard their records or are you listening to the same ones as me because their last album was the most musically diverse they have ever made , at a time when most people wanted them to deliver Elephant part 2. I`d say that was the total opposite of selling out. Quote:
Personally i`d hate it if we went back to 'classic rock times'. Why do you care whats popular? why does it matter if a band you like has sold 100 albums or a million albums? |
Yeeeaaahhh definately the beatles
|
I voted Beatles as I have more interest in them.
White Stripes aren't too terribly bad, or even sell outs. I think they're a decent band that was marketed well. Nothing over the top amazing but they know what they're doing well enough to release a listenable record. |
This is pissing me off, its spelled bluesy damnit.
|
The Beatles win.
|
I want a recount.
|
I'm planning on doing another round of polls for the 2nd place winners.
The Stripes can win that. |
