i think white stripes are the only stand out but if you look at the way it worked a bunch of bands starting catching on that had the same sound ie the white stripes the hives the strokes and bands like that
but you dont hear about the majority of them anymore nd thats wht i meant by fad not by how long they have been around just how long they got any notice
To be honest im more of a Hives fan they have really catchy songs and dont take themsleves to seriously,there album (Your New Favourite Band) is a must for anyone who wants something that bit alternative from your average run of the mill rock. As for The White Stripes when i first heard them i wasn't overly impressed (thats not too say i didn't like them) but when they returned with there 'Elephant' album my perception on them changed immensley.
The White Stripes will be in there for a while. And if not, they had a really good run, I'll tell you that.
I feel bad for Meg though, they had to cancel the rest of their tour because she's been having really bad anxiety attacks apparently.
The only CD I didn't like as much was Get Behind Me, Satan, because they had a bit too many slow songs for me, and it was just so different, but still good.
White Blood Cells is probably my favorite however.
The first song I ever learned on my bass, was Seven Nation Army. 😊
