The Strokes are an insanely good band. "Is this It?" is classic and it's definitely one of the fifteen best albums of the last 15 or so years. Room on Fire was amazing, but not comparable to "Is this It?" "First Impressions.." was totally different from both albums, but musically much more developed. Of course, the riffs have always been repetitive and simple, but that's what makes The Strokes The Strokes. It's almost electronic, their sound production, but it's all legit, besides the electric drum-set on a few of their tracks.
On a side note, Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes' solo album was also an awesome achievement.
