Good. What a horrible taste in music anyway.
Is it now "hip" hating the White Stripes?
Not just the white stripes, Jack is one of the most prolific artists of this generation. The Raconteurs, Dead Weather, and his solo efforts are all amazing too.
He also did Danger! High Voltage with Electric Six for the hell of it. Didn't put his name on it, didn't publicize it, he just liked Electric Six and decided to do vocals on one of their songs. And it was a huge hit. They still don't admit it's him. (It's definitely him.)
I literally can't tell if you're making these up as a joke I don't get, or if he's done more than that one song. You know the one. With the bassline.
you're not sure... if a career musician has done more than one song. okay bro.
You've never heard even another White Stripes song besides Seven Nation Army? How old are you?
40
Were you just living under a rock in the 2000s? How can you have never heard songs like Fell In Love With a Girl or Icky Thump or The Hardest Button to Button?
Seriously, they got so much airplay 20 years ago and you were at the exact age to have been listening to them.
Fell In Love With a Girl, absolutely. I've got the single on CD.
Icky Thump? No idea at all. 😆
Never heard of Icky Thump. I think I had heard of "Fell In Love With A Girl" if it's the one that Weird Al put in one of his polka melodies. I heard it a few years ago.
How does someone get seven down votes for starting their age?
Bands that he's been a part of
Jack White is one of the most influential musicians of his era (his heyday would have been 2003 or so when Elephant by the White Stripes was released).
Yeah they should've just gone with the audible bliss that is Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.
/s with the mass of 1000 suns.
