Bought several! They're all good. :) My favorite is El Camino, with this as a close second.

I love this song and the band; however, I saw them at Madison Square Garden in NYC this past Spring and I was pretty disappointed.  There is no denying their talent and their energy, but they put on a pop show- rushing through songs and except for a few moments not doing any great jamming.  They need to improve their live shows before I am truly won over.
 
This doesn't seem like the sort of band that The Garden would suit very well; they're essentially a 'garage' duo.  The Beacon would seem a more fitting venue for these guys, if not someplace smaller.

Saw these guys last weekend in Charlotte, NC (with the Arctic Monkeys). Excellent show, DEFINITELY worth checking out if they play at a town close by.

I'm surprised that the several songs I've heard from this album (all on RP, to be sure) have been "keepers" as far as I'm concerned.

Having heard several of the songs, this is an album I consider buying - and through the RP affiliate link, of course! {#Mrgreen}
 
If you have not already, do it!  It's a fantastic album if you like what you've heard so far.

The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach playlist: Badass Guitars

"Guitar bores the shit out of me 99 percent of the time," says the Black Keys frontman. "A solo has to be strange: There's gotta be that little 'crack' element, where it sounds like part of the song has been smoking crack."

1. "Shot Down" | The Sonics, 1965
A gnarly, over-the-top precursor to punk that was never really outdone by punk.
2. "Dearest" | Mickey & Sylvia, 1957
Mickey Baker was underrated magic.
3. "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" | Blood, Sweat & Tears, 1968
It's very much like an Isaac Hayes song, but with fuzz guitar way up front. It's just cool.
4. "Heart Full Of Love" | The Invincibles, 1965
My favorite soul song of all time. It's perfect.
5. "Your Body, Not Your Soul" | Cuby and the Blizzards, 1966
Completely bonkers. They're a Sixties European garage band, and everybody's bashing in unison.
6. "All Night Long" | Junior Kimbrough, 1992
He'd play the rhythm part, locking in with the drums in a hypnotic way. It's not blues; it's weird North Mississippi soul.
7. "The Spook" | Pete Drake, 1964
It sounds like Ethiopian music recorded at Stax.
8. "Commotion" | Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1969
Fogerty played a fucking miniature Rickenbacker through a solid-state Kustom amp. Nobody used that shit; his whole sound was unique.
9. "Some Kinda Nut" | Moon Men, 1963
The most aggressive, I-wanna-kill-you guitar ever put to tape. It's like Link Wray's trying to destroy people's minds with the solos in this song.
10. "Space Guitar" | Johnny "Guitar" Watson, 1953
He used to have, like, a 50-foot guitar cable, and he'd go through the audience playing guitar on his buddy's shoulders. He was a total showman, and you hear that on this song: crazy, showy, with wild studio effects.

{#Roflol} I liked the novelty of this song the first few times, but I'm rather tired of it now.  Thanks, Jelani, for the comedic relief.

I'm sure others could expand upon and dispute the line between these dots, but I submit this as DNA evidence. Stingray, I realize that there was no legitimate music recorded before 1990, when artists spontaneously began creating without influence - but humor me, okay?

 
What I don't see is the connection between Otis Redding and AC/DC.  Am I missing something?  I have Otis Redding on vinyl and CD.  Did AC/DC possess any sort of funk, and I just didn't hear it?  Could be my bias against those screechy white guy vocalists from the 70's.  I was never a big Zeppelin fan, either.  Loved the Stones, who had some funk, and loved Graham Parker, who had funk and a horn section.  Anyway, I just don't get the  connection from AC/DC to Otis Redding.

And, I like the Black Keys more than the White Stripes, but I can't figure out why.

Must be another RP (Radio Pasadena? {#Think} ). Radio Paradise never plays the same song several times a day.

These guys mimic styles and genres all over the map. I could rarely tell, from different album listens, that they were the black keys. Might've well been cruising through XM, covering different decades. Having said that, they're very, very good at it.
