Top 5 White Stripes Songs
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!
*#2

One More Cup of Coffee the Dylan Cover is SO GOOD. Not mention Hypnotize etc etc

2. I'm Bound To Pack It Up
3. Black Math
4. Fell In Love With A Girl
5. We're Going To Be Friends
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
can i have 5 albums?
1. Dead Leaves
2. Fell in Love With a Girl
3. Seven Nation Army
4. There's no home for you here
5. The air near my fingers

1 - Offend in every way
2 - Hello operator
3 - Black math
4 - We're gonna be Friends
5 - Fell in love with a girl
1. Hello Operator
2. Fell in Love With a Girl
3. You're Pretty Good Looking
4. Ball and Biscuit
5. My Doorbell
But if I was seeing them live, Death Letter over everything else.

1. Hello Operator
2. Astro
3. Fell in Love With a Girl
4. Jolene
5. Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine

Order subject to change.
1. Dead Leaves & The Dirty Ground
2. Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine
3. Fell In Love With A Girl
4. Icky Thump
5. There's No Home For You Here
WTF why does my list not have The Union Forever?

Expecting
Cannon
Fell In Love With A Girl
You’re Pretty Good Looking
Really wish I could have seen them somewhere smaller than Reading’s main stage. Ace both time they were, but still.
After 30 secs thought

5. Hotel Yorba
1. Fell In Love With A Girl
2. Jimmy The Exploder

Five? Right then.
1) Hotel Yorba (So placed because it was the very first song I ever learned to play)
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.
this is tough
1. Death Letter
2. The Union Forever
3. The Big Three Killed My Baby
4. Little Bird
5. Let's Shake Hands
tricky...
1. Candy Cane Children
2. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
3. Screwdriver
4. Truth Doesn't Make A Noise
5. Rag & Bone
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.
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.
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?
this thread has given me a right White Stripes revival
live in my front room.
1) I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
2) Blue Orchid
3) Icky Thump
4) Seven Nation Army
5) Hypnotize
