I love the white stripes... when they first appeared I listened to nothing else.
But the Racontuers are rubbish.....absolutely rubbish.

Please tell me if I am wrong!!!!!!

no, you're wrong - it's a good (but not great) album

Steady As She Goes - great
Hands - feelgood, talented rock music
Broken Boy Soldier - fair enough, this one's crap.
Intimate Secretary - bit nonsense, but listenable
Together - Brendan Benson at his worst.
Store Bought Bones - very cool tune
Yellow - dunno what's going on here. I suspect BB's at it again.
Call It A Day - I don't like this song much but the guitar is cool
Blue Veins - great song, really nice outro to the album

I'm into them.

I even like Broken Boy Soldiers, not quite as much as Steady as She Goes, but still considerably.

Prefer white stripes (and by white stripes i mean jack white on his own), but raconteurs are pretty decent

Mostly cos the White Stripes are pretty awesome, though.

7 nation army, despite being overplayed, is a killer track. And Fell in love with a girl is JW's best.

i love the raconteurs. i thnk they are a great mix of blues and rock, both jack and brendan are great guitarists. id recommend the album to anyone who is a fan of jack white. also, a great band live. favorite song is blue veins which i thnk is best suited for jacks vocals.

you are about as wrong as you can get......i do like the white stripes more but jack white is my all time favorite artist and he mixes great with brendan....the album is extremely quality for the fact that they rushed it and just wanted to get one out.....favorite song-Level

I really don't like either of the bands, but if I had to choose i would choose White Stripes just cause of Blue Orchid, but besides that don't really listen to either of them much.
