The White Stripes Suck(s?)
Man, how did this band get to play on the Grammys? There's a reason there are only two members - the drummer can't keep a beat. I'm sure every other musician they've ever tried to recruit has left in frustration. Jack White sings like a banshee while making his guitar sound like it's being whacked with a dead fish. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Stop it. That really hurts! Please, God, make the White Stripes go away...

I totally agree, as a drummer i find it painful to listen to...however i find the songs very catchy and they often get stuck in my head for days at a time. I need to learn that Berenstain Bears song.

Heh - you finally heard that abomination too? I saw them on TV several times over the last year. The first time was about a year ago, then again on the MTV Europe awards and a few other places. I just don't get it.
I take it as an indication of how artificial and corporate-driven is popularity in the music biz. I mean, the only way they could get so much exposure is with some high-powered friends and connections. I just can't convince myself that enough people world-wide really want to see them play more than the thousands of more talented bands in every town and city around the world.

Yes, they have practically no talent whatsoever. Yet, this simple drivel they turn out is catchy. Whenever I get one of those dreadful songs stuck in my head I feel like giving myself a lobotomy.
