Top 5 White Stripes Songs

Anthonyc [Edit] [Delete] 49 replies 11:59, 3 February '11

Thought start another thread for White Stripes! Currently listening to White Blood Cells for the first time in AGES and is reminding me of how good they are.

So top 5 songs:

1) The Hardest Button to Button
2) Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
3) Fell in Love with a Girl
4) Truth Doesnt Make a Noise
5) Cannon

Without thinking about it too much!

I can't be arsed with a top 5, tbh

But I was just thinking that Party Of Special Things To Do from their Beefheart covers single is probably my favourite thing they ever did.

Also, anyone without Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground at #1 has all kinds of problems!

Arg, well Dead Leaves is not there, top ten maybe...

Let's Build A Home (live on Conan)
Hardest Button To Button
Conquest
The Denial Twist
We Are Going To be Friends

off the top of me head anyway, if you start thinking about every compliation and 7" single they've done the list would go on and on...

amyblue | 3 Feb '11, 12:59 | X
screwdriver

at number one, obvs.

2 – fell in love with a girl
3 – one more cup of coffee
4 – girl, you have no faith in medicine
5 – black math

I’m surprised Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground features so highly on so many lists. It’s great and that, but, well, see above.

AlwaysTheSea | 3 Feb '11, 13:09 | X

- Also, no covers in there
  
  but if I was allowing them then Death Letter and Jolene may have made the cut.

Not sure that I actually like 5 White Stripes songs.

Never really got into them that much. I do feel for their fans though - it sucks that they won't be making anymore music together. That said, I can probably muster 4 songs of theirs that I used to like listening to (in no ranked order):

1. Fell In Love With A Girl
2. We're Going To Be Friends
3. Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground
4. Seven Nation Army

Expecting
Cannon
Fell In Love With A Girl

Five? Right then.

2) Little Acorns
3) The Union Forever
4) In The Cold, Cold Night
5) The Hardest Button To Button

It makes me all kinds of sad that I'm exactly the second person to name The Union Forever.

5. Rag & Bone

sunstroke_house | 3 Feb '11, 22:43 | X
Not listened to 'em in years, but it's probably something like

1. Apple Blossom
2. the rest

"The rest" should probably include Jolene (if it counts) and Hypnotize, but I dunno. The trio of De Stijl - White Blood Cells - Elephant was truly great though.

-dan- | 3 Feb '11, 22:53 | X
- Right now (off the back of this) I'm listening to Bob Dylan singing Ball and Biscuit for the probably first time in YEARS
  
  Love how mental the crowd goes.
  
  -dan- @-dan- | 3 Feb '11, 22:56 | X
  - Alright
    
    Too drunk now to count this but tomorrow Ima getting on it!

    - Can't see
      
      Why this has been bumped.
      
      Making me feel bad for not calculating the top 5 when I posted this thread. Anyone want to do it?
      
      Anthonyc @Anthonyc | 28 Dec '11, 03:05 | X
