White Stripes - Elephant



Phew...thinking about it today, the first time I heard the White Stripes was on Last Night with Conan O'Brien a long time ago. I remember thinking they had a pretty unique style compared to other artists at the time. I think that still pretty much holds true, as they might blend styles - their sound is still a little different compared to what else is out there today. I can't portray myself as a big time Stripes guy - but I do like to throw them on every so often. I really have to be in a certain mood to enjoy them to the fullest. You can never get tired of 'Seven Nation Army' though, because that song is just outstanding. I feel like they put out an energy into their albums that is almost unmatched by other punk-ish style artists. They remind me of The Strokes from that standpoint. If you have never heard these guys, give it a go. I think you'll be interested in what they've got going on. Even if you don't rush out to pick up their records - you can at least respect the music they're making. I'd put myself in that boat. At the very least, check out the samples and see if it's something that peaks your interest. I think you might be surprised. Enjoy your Monday!
