Last Night is a great song. And Is This It? is a very good album. But that's pretty much it for me with the Strokes. They are an imminently skippable band on my iPod. They are the Van Halen of the aughts. You're not sure when you purchased their music or why, but for some odd reason, everyone owns at least two of their albums.

The Strokes first album is great... I remember it being released in England on Rough Trade and I had to get a copy since 9/11 delayed its US release and omitted NYC Cops (I think)... I also like the cover art better on UK version

Album was fantastic... saw them on that tour at the old Howlin Wolf and they were great... Next album came out, ehhh and I havent bought one since.

YYYs... I like songs here and there... That Maps tune is great, but, IMO, the Strokes had a great debut record... so they get the nod
