This has a pretty short shelf life --- getting to be that the easiest button when this is on is the mute.

All their songs remind me of someone else--because he's an unofuckingriginal, meatloaf looking hack!

This probably is also messing with my head:

Jack White (b. John Anthony Gillis, Detroit, Michigan, USA; guitar/vocals) and Meg White (b. Megan Martha White, Detroit, Michigan, USA; drums). The Whites, variously assumed to be husband and ex-wife or brother and sister, but both denied, formed their new band in 1997. Judging from their facial looks it initially seemed likely the duo were brother and sister, but the matter was confused by Jack White stating that the couple were once married and the posting of a marriage license and divorce certificate on the Internet.

I said it once and I'll say it again, the white stripes suck. Sounds like finger nails scratching a chalkboard.

Make that exceptional garage band noise. Some people just really dig that sound. I think that this song totally rules death. :)

Never thought 'button' was exceptional, but at first listen to the first four songs during a gym workout I was sold on Elephant. I can see how it is polarizing though. My wife hates the whole album and in general I think she has excellent musical taste. Hence its relegation to headphone listening.

Which bit are you caling original - the female drummer? I think the Velvet Underground can claim a bit more originality in that department (as in so many other departments): and don't forget the Go-Betweens' classic line-ups with Lindy Morrison on the sticks & skins.
