In some respects I suspect you've got a respectable side.
When pushed and pulled and pressured, you seldom run and hide,
But it's for someone else's benefit, not for what you wanna do
Until I realize that you've realized I'm gonna say these words to you.

Yeah, you don't know what love is,
You do as you're told.
Just as a child of ten might act,
But you're far too old.
You're not hopeless, or helpless,
And I hate to sound cold,
But you don't know what love is,
You just do as you're told.

I can see your man can't help but win any problems that may arise,
But in his mind, there can be no sin if you never criticize.
You just keep on, repeating all those empty "I love you"s.
Until you see you deserve better, I'm gonna lay right into you.

Yeah, you don't know what love is,
You just do as you're told.
Just as a child of ten might act,
But you're far too old.
You're not hopeless, or helpless,
And I hate to sound cold,
But you don't know what love is,
No you don't know what love is,
No you don't know what love is,
You just do as you're told.
Yeah, do as you're told
Yeah.

I freakin' HATE the White Stripes—but this cut is pretty tolerable.

This comment doesn't account for those of us who only rate the stuff we like. I'm among them.

Besides cvandoren uses a false syllogism. Just because 83% of toterola's ratings are 10s, doesn't mean that 83% of all songs on RP are 10s. It only means 83% of the songs toterola rates. And my guess is that he, like me, just takes a pass on the stuff he doesn't rate, say, 8 or higher. Does this make sense?

I realize a lot of people like these guys, but I find the music very simplistic, with just a few chords and I'm not fond of his voice.  To each his own though - bring me some Foo Fighters!

I was commenting on the Strummer song - and the phat guitar tone of this got my attention. I have come around to the White Stripes after some more exposure. One cannot argue with the brick wall of guitar and drums they hit you in the face with.

Except that Mighty Quinn sort of had a melody.

Rock and roll trivia for today: Quinn the Eskimo was a reference to Anthony Quinn portraying an eskimo in the movie "The Savage Innocents" which I always thought would have been a great name for a rock band.

hmm, I always thought you had to be at least reasonably good at playing an instrument if you wanted to play in a successful rock band. Maybe I should pursue a career as a drummer, I can already do boo-hiss so I guess I got the necessary skills.

Amazing! I've gotta ask - what gives you this special ability to prognosticate about music and culture? Enchanted edition of the magic 8 ball? 1:15 am meeting with Doc Brown at Twin Pines Mall? Insight gleaned from Hal Lindsey over coffee and biscotti? Sorry, Nostradamus, but from here you just sound like a run-of-the-mill White Stripes hater using hyperbole to lay claim to present and future taste superiority.

I tried to sit as objectively as I could, forgetting my prior bias...no matter how I slice it, what I hear is a band that in 10 years will be played and people will actually laugh about and wonder why anybody liked them. They deploy every stereotyped, hackneyed technique known to man (or woman), and to limited effect, no less. They are, in fact, self-ridiculing. Is this the novelty that fans enjoy? I'm honestly trying to understand the appeal here. Meanwhile: 2.

Jack is an unbelieveably multitalented musician--piano, drums, bass, guitar, and various other stringed instruments. The White Stripes put on one of the most stellar shows, from a purely technical as well as creative perspective, that I've personally ever seen. EDIT: Jack's also a bit of a prima donna on stage -- and, hey, deserves to be, IMO.

Awesome! Another chance to deride the nonexistent musicianship and hackneyed song-writing (I'm being kind) of the Witless Strips. This tune doesn't even measure up to 70's throwaway rock standards...solid 3.

I don't know why so many here hate her drumming so much. It's primitive, but very cool IMO. I don't think she's trying to be Keith Moon or anything. But I don't think she should ever be allowed to sing. This is a good disk, by the way. Really growing on me.

Give the album some more spins and see if your view doesn't change.

I agree with you -- I would have bet this was a 25 or 30-year old tune. The only thing that sets it off is that you can hear Jack White's signature in the guitar work. Still a pretty good song, IMHO, but I don't think it's signalling the future of anything but Jack and Meg's bank account.
....also a way to see it, I have to confess....anyway, the followers of the WS still are a minority, as you can tell from the comments in this very forum, so their money will be earned working hard....and that's also r&r....the real one, I mean. - By the way, Bill: when will we hear some Loretta Lynn tune supported by Jack's guitar?

Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatles song Love Me Do, I think it was And from then it didn't take him long Got himself a guitar Used to play every night Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit And everything's alright Don't you know? Johnny told his Mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away Gonna hit the big time Gonna be a big star someday" Mama came to the door With a teardrop in her eye Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama Smile and wave goodbye" Don't you know? Yeah...... (Chorus) Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are Johnny made a record Went straight up to number one Suddenly everyone loved To hear him sing HIS song Watchin' the world go by Surprisin' it goes so fast Johnny looked around him and said, "Well, I made the big-time at last" Don't you know? Don't you know? (Chorus) A shooting star Don't you know that You are a shooting star Don't you know? Don't you know that You are a shooting star And all the world will love you just as long as long as you are Johnny died one night, died in his bed Bottle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his head Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play (chorus) Don't you know that You are a shooting star Don't you know? Don't you know that you are a shooting star Dont you dont you dont you dont you dont you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star
