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.

So you tried to give credit to the White Stripes and mention Elephant over all of their other work? This makes me think you haven't heard the other Stripes albums. Elephant is the second to last album -I, personally- would bring up when trying to credit them, even in an undercutting manner. 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

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.
