No, Meg wasn't the best drummer, 'straight forward four on the floor' I think I remember it being described once. However, there was a chemistry, particular on stage that just worked. Not every track was down to Jack's incredible playing, Meg was just an important part of The White Stripes as Jack was. Strange that, in my opinion at least, Jack has come nowhere near the same levels with more accomplished musicians surrounding him.

i don't rate him on a "technical" basis |
I couldn't comment on his playing from a technical point of view, as I don't have the knowledge or experience to do so, but I do think he's a very influential guitarist.

Both Jack and Meg take their somewhat limited skills and make something great out of them. In my opinion, I think that's far more impressive than an amazingly technical and speedy group of musicians playing scales.
On my favourite debut album(s), I'd have to say that it's a huge tie between these fellows. https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/im...jX0cEeR5g2DBOj Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Safe As Milk This is my favourite blues album, it captures Vliet and the other bandmates (with the inclusion of Ry Cooder) at a time before they went off of the cliff into avant-gardism, and it also serves as a good eye-opener to Beefheartedness when introducing people to his works. Not my favourite flavour of beef, but this album still gets a 10/10. https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/im...d8YHjEDJBvnonw Zu - Bromio Dericulous album cover, brilliant album. This album is more brass heavy than their other works, but being the amazing band that they are, they make it work. I love everything that these guys have done, and this album is no exception. https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/im...PYh0cvDtVMVm1w Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle Hell, what hasn't been said about this album? Much more ska and metal oriented than their better works (Disco Volante) and it's another eye-opener to Pattonism like Milk is an eye-opener to Beefland. https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/im...nG7FbevqDBC3Qu miRthkon - Vehicle Jesus, this album is brilliant. It's miRthkon's only release, unfortunately, but it blows my socks off every time that I listen to it. This one goes up there with the greats of jazz/rock/avant-garde/(insert genre here)/fusion/brilliance. Jandek's Ready for the House, the VU and Nico, and AMMMusic 1966 all get honorable mention as well. |
pretty good intro to whatever brouhaha that followed:-
