Band: THE WHITE STRIPES
The duo responsible for starting
about a thousand two-piece bands
Active: 1997-2011 / 6 LPs

Anniversary album: ICKY THUMP
Released: 15 June 2007 – 15 years ago
The longplayer was certified gold in the United States.
It also won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music.

AllMusic wrote: “While ‘Get Behind Me Satan’ was heavy on pianos, ‘Icky Thump’ is just plain heavy, dominated by primal, stomping rock that feels like it’s been caged for a very long time and is just now being released. Jack White’s guitars are back in a big way… With its fuller sound and relaxed flights of fancy, Icky Thump is a mature, but far from stodgy, album — and, as is usually the case, it’s just great fun to hear the band play.” Full review here. Score: 4/5.

Turn Up The Volume: Any White Stripes album is better than any of Jack White‘s solo  ones.
