Detroit, United States (1997 – present)
The White Stripes are an American rock band, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The group consists of songwriter Jack White (vocals, piano/keyboards, and guitar) and Meg White (drums, vocals).
After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit independent music underground, The White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the garage rock revival scene. Their successful albums White Blood Cells and Elephant drew them attention from a large variety of media outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The White Stripes use a low-fidelity, do-it-yourself approach to writing and recording. Their music features a melding of punk and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The duo is also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which features a simple color scheme of red, white, and black.
The White Stripes’ discography consists of six studio albums, two extended plays (EP), one video album, 26 singles and fourteen music videos. The band has sold approximately 12 million albums worldwide, 2 million in the US alone, and their latest three albums have each won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

One more album before the decades out and I'll be happy enough... Jack has surprise released before so it's not as impossible as it seems. I'm so pleased Black Math is in these charts!

If its Megs state of Health that is preventing the return of the Stripes to their rightful place,as Gaz suggested on an earlier shout,then i think, let her retire, enjoy life without the glare of stardom,with all its stresses and shit needed to keep the starmaker machinery going.If you followed Jack's career, her place is not written in Stone and honestly you know it may be the best thing for her to leave the Stripes.And Fuck! if her replacement didn't work so what Jack can create another band..

Plus she could kick any other drummer in the ass, she is very talented.

I agree with gaz about meg. She isn't just eye candy, and i believe if they had a guy drummer, they wouldn't have as many fans. I'm sure they'd still be a great band but,the idea of Jack and Meg are what made the white stripes cool in the first place.

Word up again @gabethevegan!... I'd say Jack works differently with different people so The White Stripes wouldn't be what it is musically without her... a kind of muse with an instrument.

Elephant is an excellent album I really should own more of their albums

Lets be brutally honest here...Jack White is the White Stripes..Meg is Eye Candy for a certain type of male..Love Meg but lets not pretend man...

Agreed, the amount of money I've spent on the White Stripes on all those little rare and collectables is testament to that.

Agreed on an objective level..when i talk about Artists/Bands..its always My Fave bands,Bands and Artists i love..Dont make any bigger claim than that...tho in my Heart i believe there is Hierarchy of Taste. no one has ever defined it,so for now i'll go with my Limitted and narrow subjective taste.. For Me The Stripes Defined the Noughties thats all.

There is no definitive noughties record or band. There's simply too much material to pick just one to summarize it all. The Strokes are aptly named in relation to their egos and not much else.

gabethevegan wrote:
I'm not dissing The Strokes in my top five easily poss number two,Jack White like Prince b4 him tho loved seems to really separate critics.Raconteurs i think i like, tho they have taken Jack's eye off The Stripes

shuffleculture wrote:
I respectfully disagree, gabethevegan, how impactive a band are is hugely relevant to how good their music is, especially in a 'best of' list-type-thing. I'm not defending NME or The Strokes here really, I just think Is This It deserves top spot even over albums I rate higher personally- it is the album that defines the decade, enough said. Gotta agree with you on Jack, he is my favourite song-writer and I love the Raconteurs too.

gabethevegan wrote:
TBH Higginst i agree with you about the Raconteurs and Dead Weather,even tho i think Jack is a Fuckin Genius
