Recommend me two White Stripes albums

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hey, so I've been listening to a few songs of the White Stripes for a while and I really love their sound. The unique blusey sound is just amazing to me. I know they've just released their 5th studio album, but I don't have cash to buy 5 albums at the moment .

However, I COULD buy 2 albums. Which 2 are their best, IYO? Which two are worth my cash?

Definately White Blood Cells.

Then I'd also get their self-titled debut.

BTW, they have six albums.

1999 The White Stripes
2000 De Stijl
2001 White Blood Cells
2002 Maximum
2003 Elephant
2005 Get Behind Me Satan

I said this is diss' thread, but www.artistdirect.com is very good reference site.

In looking, Elephant might be one I'd try, Imran.

Ah, the White Stripes A band I totally and happily missed at last year's Lowlands festival

[Ramo]

Their new one is a little too weird, though some of it's good...

I'd say their debut and White Blood Cells, though Elephant's almost up there.

De Stijl is really good (I'm listening to it right now). It'd be a toss-up between this and The White Stripes.

One of my managers at J&J gave me copies of four WS cds without me even asking for them. Man I miss that dude.

Stompy kittens are scariest.

Many WS tunes sound like Led Zeppelin at their bluesiest. It's scarey how much Jack White sounds like Jimmy Page.

Now you're going with a stoned frog for an avatar?
Ok then.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You say 6 albums, but it seems most sites have 5. Was Maximum a special album or something?

It's Herreson's frog version of a famous Russian commie poster from the civil war.

Sorry, the AMG website has no info on the album other than what's on it. Amazon doesn't have anything on it either.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, that's what I meant... it doesn't seem to have the same supporting info as the others.

Btw, frogs are soooo like year .

[chequita guevara]

I can't help it. I really love Herreson's frogs.
