My favorite of any Jack White is this band - so, so good - just great rock'n'fuckin'roll, man!  Jack quirky, but with a reall solid rhythm section & poppy-esque co-leader to not have it derail too far off the Zepp/Beat path...

yeah thought it was Turin Brakes as well...they have a very distinctive sound ; maybe Jack White is a chameleon at heart.

You were correct, it IS Jack White singing! He performs vocals (among other tasks) in this band...

This is the first time I've heard this group. Good stuff. Musically has interestingly complicated notes. The vocals immediately made me think of Crosby, Stills and Nash. It's great to know that some younger musicians out there still now how to read music.

Well, the harmonies on this one are certainly in the Beatles' triad mode. And they have the voices to pull it off. I'd suggest, therefore, effective use of harmonic options.

Hmmm. We can't have it both ways. Mostly people say that overplaying a song kills it.

Anyway, it gets a 7 from me.

Maroon 5 had a couple decent songs that they keep recycling again and again.  While moderately talented as musicians, you can plug any song into the "hit maker" equation and realize that they are all carefully constructed to get people to buy the album and not written and performed for the love of the craft.  In a lot of ways, they are a good example of what happens to what could have been an interesting band when the members get a taste of commercial success.  Artistic integrity was replaced with a fat stack of cash.

It's not "how many times," but "how well and in how many different ways can you play one note?"   (See:  Philip Glass)

Opening the windows of the passenger door in a car going about 80 mph...I stick my arm out and feel the wind redirect my hand and fingers...with this song blasting out through my ears. I'm singing along and enjoying every moment.

listening to this without realising it was White Stripes vocalist, it just sounds really pedestrian and ordinary. Nothing edgy or uplifting or moving.

I like this song, and the Raconteurs, but..... 
I sure wish Jack and Meg White were going to be continuing the White Stripes.  That was a band with pure, raw awesome.  I'm going to miss them.

I think I've only heard two or three songs by Maroon 5, so I can't really say very much about their sound.  Maybe there's something similar in the vocal style or harmonies, but that probably isn't unique to either group.

Look at my favs list: new bands, new tunes. Do we really need Bill saying, '...and before that we heard the Grateful Dead.' If the condom in your wallet is from the 70s and the music on your radio is too, well, it's time for a change. Peace.
