In Rainbows Vs. Icky Thump (rock, one-hit wonder, one-hit, genre)

Urban Hat€monger ? · 12-14-2007, 09:11 AM

I've heard both albums a grand total of once each

I have listened to all their albums. I would rate De Stijl second. It just that Elephant seems better in my own opinion

No. They absolutly do not. And tell me, what was the non-decent half of Elephant was. Not that I disagree with you on this point. Just on your overall opinion.

I don't know, it was a half hearted statement. Disregard~~~

You don't have a rank you blasphemous whore?

Crowe · 12-20-2007, 12:23 AM

Hahah! Hey, only my mother calls me a whore!

De Stijl
White Blood Cells
Elephant
Icky Thump
Get Behind Me Satan
S/T

That's what it averages out to, but it changes to however my life's going. I like hearing GBMS when I'm down and outtish. Their middle 3 when I'm feeling nostalgic and Self Titled/Icky Thump when I'm working out. So this list is constantly in flux.

TheBig3 · 12-20-2007, 04:17 PM

So really elephant is second to second and GBMS is second to last? Your list unfortunatly is reasonably accurate, which is shameful to me because I like the satan.

Crowe · 12-20-2007, 06:42 PM

Whoa, whoa - did I just hear personal shame when discussing preferences within the Stripes' discography? No need, Big3! I love, love, love all the Stripes albums almost to an inappropriate end (read: auditorysturbation). GBMS is gorgeous! I think my favorite track is Take, Take, Take... well... or Little Ghost.

TheBig3 · 12-21-2007, 06:51 AM

/agree but GBMS gets a not quite appropriate rap for tracks like red rain and ugly as I seem. They should rename GBMS "crap shoot" because the whole albums a 50/50 gamble which was needed in the social context but not the musical one.
