Now I am merely assuming here, of course, since I don't know what you've listened to, what you appreciate etc, etc... but please, at least, go listen to De Stijl (if you haven't already) before you try to make Elephant the pinnacle of the Stripes' discography!

I have listened to all their albums. I would rate De Stijl second. It just that Elephant seems better in my own opinion

Has to be Radiohead, you cant keep a good band down. Radiohead piss all over anything by The White Stripes, apart from Elephant which was half decent.

No. They absolutly do not. And tell me, what was the non-decent half of Elephant was. Not that I disagree with you on this point. Just on your overall opinion.

I don't know, it was a half hearted statement. Disregard~~~

You don't have a rank you blasphemous whore?

Hahah! Hey, only my mother calls me a whore!

De Stijl
White Blood Cells
Elephant
Icky Thump
Get Behind Me Satan
S/T

That's what it averages out to, but it changes to however my life's going. I like hearing GBMS when I'm down and outtish. Their middle 3 when I'm feeling nostalgic and Self Titled/Icky Thump when I'm working out. So this list is constantly in flux.

So really elephant is second to second and GBMS is second to last? Your list unfortunatly is reasonably accurate, which is shameful to me because I like the satan.

Whoa, whoa - did I just hear personal shame when discussing preferences within the Stripes' discography? No need, Big3! I love, love, love all the Stripes albums almost to an inappropriate end (read: auditorysturbation). GBMS is gorgeous! I think my favorite track is Take, Take, Take... well... or Little Ghost.

/agree but GBMS gets a not quite appropriate rap for tracks like red rain and ugly as I seem. They should rename GBMS "crap shoot" because the whole albums a 50/50 gamble which was needed in the social context but not the musical one.
