Wolf, I love The Strokes, but they haven't even had a good song in over 5 years. Arcade Fire, meanwhile, has made three great albums in that span. Come on.
Not a fair comparision.
The Strokes haven't released any good songs in 5 +/- years because they haven't released an ALBUM in 5 years come January. Hell, they haven't released any BAD songs either, just haven't released ANY.
Julian's solo project was surprisingly good, I really thought it was going to be a train-wreck but was really pleased.
Heh fair enough. Neon Bible is in no shape or form better than Room On Fire. I like First Impressions Of Earth more than Neon Bible. You Only Live Once, Heart In A Cage, Razorblade are all among my favorite Strokes songs.
You people are out of control. There isn't that much difference in any of the 3 Strokes records. There is simply no way one is a 5/5 and one is like a 2. They are all similar.
Also Neon Bible was one of the better records of 2007, I find it hard to believe its average at best.

Woah. You don't like Fleetwood Mac? Rumours is, as they say, flame.
I don't really care for very much of their material at all. If they were going to play Rumours I would try to stay awake until the end of Secondhand News then take a nap.

I h8 TLR. No one messes with my Razzle Dazzle. Is This It>De Stijl>WBC>RoF>the rest of the Stripes records>Funeral>FIoE>Suburbs>NB Sure FIoE sounds similar to ITI, but the songs are nowhere near as good. Sure Elephant sounds similar to good White Stripes, but the songs just don't stand up.

You don't deserve to like the white stripes. go listen to jumble jumble about 80 times ya fool.

I would love for them to keep the idea of someone MC'ing alive. Having Conan introduce bands was awesome. I wish he could have done more.
I really enjoyed it too, especially when he brought up Tenacious D, that was hilarious. I would love if we got a "live" taping of the Daily Show or Colbert Report on Thursday and then they just hung around the rest of the weekend. But I'm fine if we get lesser comedians and more money put toward music.

haha i really don't understand how more and more bands keep randomly getting dragged into this. LCD, The Strokes, The White Stripes, and Arcade Fire? the fact is, all of them are among the great rock bands of this generation.
Yeah, i think Room in Fire is definitely better than Neon Bible. i also agree with Zapp that i may even like FIoE more, although Neon Bible is probaly a "better" overal album. First Impressions has some of the Stroke's best work intermixed with a whole bunch of crappy songs. it's like they forgot how to edit.
the whole 10/10 "perfect" argument is missing the point. Sound of Silver may not be 100% perfect, but it's closer to 10.0 than to 9.5 so i'd say 10/10.
Is This It>De Stijl>WBC>RoF>the rest of the Stripes records>Funeral>FIoE>Suburbs>NB
i don't like ranking albums from different bands like this. it's hard to put them into context. Sound of Silver vs. Is This It vs. Funeral vs. Elephant(or whichever WS album is your favorite) they're all very different.

Julian's solo>FIoE, but both were severely disappointing considering the greatness of ITI. Oh well. The setlists seem to reflect that event The Strokes know ITI blows away the rest of their material. That fact alone gives me hope.

^x3 I thought double posting was fine here. I've seen it often. Is it not? Someone please let me know, because I think I've done it a lot.
As for TWS:
S/T: ****/5 De Stijl : *****/5 White Blood Cells *****/5 Elephant ****1/2 /5 Get Behind Me Satan **** /5 Icky Thump ***1/2 /5
Don't know about specific albums between bands, but for their careers, IMO it's The White Stripes=Arcade Fire>LCD Soundsystem>The Strokes. And Radiohead>TWS/AF. But they're all close to one another and as someone else said, they're all some of the best bands/artists this decade.
I thought Elephant was almost a carbon copy of WBC, which was why I was disappointing to me. Still, a ***1/2 album in my eyes, whereas I saw WBC and De Stijl as both high-end ****1/2 records.

There are differences between Elephant and White Blood Cells. I'm wary of saying Elephant was more "radio friendly" because that's not exactly accurate, but WBC fits in easier with the first two WS albums than Elephant does. To me, Elephant is the easiest of the great WS records (i.e. the first four) to get into, but once you listen to them more, I think WBC and De Stijl start standing out as the better albums with better songs.
