Funnily enough the White Stripes are one of those bands that are on my list.
I don't have a problem with bands that make a particular sound their own. It's a long trodden path, to take what's gone before and add a slant to it.
I guess I'm always waiting for a new Joy Division, a new Bauhaus, or a new Talking Heads, but maybe that's just me wishing those bands mentioned could happen all over again. To grab my initial attention, then watch them develop and unfold over the following years.
Maybe that's where my problem lies. Always looking for the old in the new, without it ever being able to deliver.
