The white stripes - Elephant

What I thought the White Stripes should sing according to the poster:

Hey, I said my kids like it. I taught 'em what I know, so it can't be all that bad. I've kind of seperated myself from mainstream music lately. There is a saying taught to me by my loving brother/Mentor:

Same Old  , Different Day (SOS DD)

Didn't Saint Peter Rideout say something like, every song has already been written. We are just listening to interpretations of the same songs. I tend to agree, to a point. There are a few people attempting to do something different. It's hard to find and most people can get their minds around it. The search continues........

I know, they're not very original, but their songs rock! (and I like it when I turn on the TV and I don't see Britney or Justin, but Jack an Meg!)

They sound like a sixties band. They're not original, I just like it

well, sure the white stripes are repetitive, but repetitive lyrics and simple drum beats are what started rock n' roll, right? if it wasn't for that type of music there wouldn't be any prog bands at all.

I agree they're not original, but they rock!

My bro has a point.

The music is about as basic as it gets, and to be honest I think TWS are more of a 'gimmick' band than anything else. They take the whole ethos of 'Keepin' it real' and 'back to basics' to extremes. That approach doesn't really appeal to me at all.

I agree, although Elephant held my attention for a bit more than a couple of weeks. I liked the way they went back and used 60's equipment to record this album. Great bisnuiss sense, spend £3k, make £3million.
