Why did no one tell me this was a thing??

I never heard this song before this week. I blame everyone I know for not telling me about it when it came out in 2003.



I only found it because 2 Cellos did a cover, and I was listening to their album. Their version is awesome as well.

What rock have you been living under that you're just now hearing this? It was all over the radio and TV, and now it's a permanent fixture of every college football game I watch--you'll often have the band and the entire crowd humming that opening riff. Here's a cool little video on its history and how it became a stadium anthem:


Anyway, White Stripes are pretty awesome. I got into them back when their third album was released in '01. Back then they were a cool throwback to 60s/70s rock, pop, and folk. You can hear Dylan, Beatles, Zeppelin, The Who, Ramones, etc. and every now and then they'll throw in a country/bluegrass song or Scottish jig. I also really liked everything they did after that, but they got a bit more experimental. I love De Stijl (second album) and their last, Icky Thump; both probably their most bluesy/Zeppelin-esque albums. Here are a few tracks I really like:

(^ This is straight up Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying")

7 nation Army is an anthem for the left wing in this country now, as well as a fixture at sporting events. People chant "Whoa Je-re-my Cor-byn" to the opening riff.
