Re: White Stripes
I think Jack White is a great songwriter. Stuff like "Dorbell" is really catchy and surprisingly original.
That said, I'm with you. I've got two problems with the band that I can't get past:
1. Meg White is a terrible drummer. If you're going to form a gimmick band based off a power-duo, you'd better have a good guitarist and a great drummer. Case in point: I can't stand Local-H, but the drummer is pretty good as I recall.
2. The getups they wear are just retarded and distract from the music. I can't stand bands that play dress-up because they think it's entertaining (part of the reason crap like Marylin Manson annoys me so much). Obviously Beck is excluded from this requirement.
