What is the Music Board's opinion of these guys? Just started listening; enjoying "Hello Operator", "Seven Nation Army", and "Fell in Love With a Girl" for starters.

I love the white stripes, but there are a lot of jack white haters here that think he's not "talented"

Plenty of people on here that know Jack is a machine though.

Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground
My Doorbell
Sister Do Ya Know My Name
Slowly Turning Into You
300 MPH Torrential Outpoor Blues
Same Boy You've Always Known
Pretty Good Lookin
Forever For Her(Is Over For Me)

As you will find, this list can be quite lengthy. Do yourself a favor and just dive in head first. I own most everything in Jack White's catalog of projects, have not been disappointed yet. Others mentioned looking into The Raconteurs, may I also add The Dead Weather and his solo work.

Some may not like him but that's just like their opinion man. Jack White has a talent for writing good songs with some meaningful lyrical content. Pretty good musician as well. Enjoy ya trip!

They're pretty freaking solid. I don't glorify them like some do, but they have a few songs that are great.

I recognize his talent, but I think he is a bit glorified and overrated, personally. I have no qualms with someone who disagrees; just a matter of personal opinion, really.

I think he's one of the more creative and talented musicians right now.

White Stripes are good enough for me to have all their music.

Hell, I even like the Dead Weather. Jack White is greatness. But rough and raw rock n roll is sort of my thing.

And the man is a fricking workhorse.


He's always got some project he's working on

The live version of Icky Thump on "Under the White Northern Lights" is phenomenal

Great songwriter, inventive musician, great performer. Apparently works his arse off to keep creating, that's to his credit as well.

among the top 5 rock bands of the last decade, IMO.
