strokes are ok, whitestripes are betta!

___________________

the strokes is nothing innovative, they just cloned a bunch of older stuff like going to the extent of stealing the guitar riffs etc ( I got examples of clone tracks, just can't think of them now )

I saw them live and their good yeah , but haven't invented nothing .....
let's see how their second albums follows up ...

I knew them before they were mainstream and the current situation pisses me off

oooooohhh and did I mention they are so over rated ( it's weird how the whole press worldwide greeted time with arms wide open giving them all the credit etc .... I don't know the numbers but I'm sure they came close to making the most front cover of magazines in the shortest time span after their market launch )

actually they blew up in the UK first because they were under a UK label...they didnt blow up in North America till lately...and half the people in North America dont even know who the fuck they are...well most do but alot dont...but i believe they are talented...and they didnt ripp off anything i dont think...i know white stripes did from Bob dillan and another band gah forgot their name but oh well thats the way show biz goes....no matter how u look at it theyre still very talented both bands are...

The strokes?

uh.. yeah, i stroke it all the time.

Love the strokes! I guess this thread hasn't been brought up after their release of Room on Fire so here goes.

Room on Fire is an excellent cd if you liked their debut album! style is the same (with the exception of 12:51 which is kinda 80's)...but they still pump out the short, sweet and melodic tunes! Although, in the middle of the cd (particularly You Talk Too Much and Meet Me In The Bathroom) theres a few songs which don't really appeal to me, but the rest is pure gold! "What Ever Happened?" is a really addicting song, reptllia has an excellent chorus thats has some nice energetic vibe to it. automatic is ok but the lyrics are kinda..meh...12:51, the way it is and the end has no end are great, but the big surprise is Under Control. amazing ballad

anwyays...great cd, go buy it


p.s. White Stripes are awseme too
