The White Stripes...A Legacy

from The Curmudgeon Rock Report Hosted by The Curmudgeons

In which the Curmudgeons examine the career and the great music of rock 'n' roll's best "brother and sister" act. Okay, so they were really ex-husband and ex-wife, but hammy mythos was small part of what made The White Stripes so compelling. That, and their incredible ability to deconstruct and celebrate the blues, country and folk with explosive guitar and simple drums while also writing and recording some of the most innovative songs of their era. We discuss the music and their six albums in detail. Songs discussed during this episode include: Personal Trainer, "Big Love Blanket" Jockstrap, "Greatest Hits" A whole lotta White Stripes: "Jimmy the Exploder" "I Fought Pirahnas" "The Big Three Killed My Baby" "You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl)" "Hello Operator" "Apple Blossom" "I'm Bound to Pack it Up" "Dead Leaves On the Dirty Ground" "Hotel Yorba" "Fell In Love With a Girl" "The Union Forever" "Seven Nation Army" "The Hardest Button to BUtton" "Ball and Biscuit" "I Want To Be the Boy Who Warms Your Mother's Heart" "Blue Orchid" "My Doorbell" "Passive Manipulation" "Icky Thump" "Catch Hell Blues" "Effect and Cause" Join our Curmudgeonly Community today! facebook.com/curmudgeonrock Now hosted on Podbean! curmudgeonrock.podbean.com Subscribe to our show on these platforms: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-curmudgeon-rock-report/id1551808911 https://open.spotify.com/show/4q7bHKIROH98o0vJbXLamB?si=5ffbdc04d6d44ecb https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80MW
