First of all, I have to admit I haven't been listening to the White Stripes since their first album (not that I didn't like them, just never got to it), so my point of view is not of an original fan (actually, I've listening to them from last to first album). This said, I think Icky Thump is as good as any other (and better than some).

Minus The Bear - Menos el Oso

I love those songs....love the whole album, though at the moment I'm slightly obsessed with Little Cream Soda. Actually, its not just at the moment, its more of a while now, lol.


Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well.

Dimmu Borgir - Indoctrination.
The song cracks me up. Starts out blazing fast then suddenly stops with some orchestra. It is brilliantly well placed and the singer starts laughing with you.

Noir Désir - Marlène

Oh Marlène, dans tes veines coule l'amour des soldats, et quand ils meurent, ou s'endorment, ç'est la chaleur de ta voix qui les apaise et les traine jusqu'en dehors des combats...

Je te donne la plume pour que tu dessines la plus belle ville que t' aies connu, le plus bel hymne qu t'aies voulu, je te donne la plume, moi j'en veux plus...

Django Rienhardt and Stephan Grappelli - "Le Quintette de Hot Club de France"

Violinist Grappelli is more famous but Reinhardt is the force in this band. He was a gypsy guitar player who may have been the greatest jazz guitarist ever. Even more amazing because the 3rd and 4th fingers of his left hand were paralyzed by burns - he had to relearn the instrument afterward. The record is a collection of recordings they made from '34 to '40. May have been the first jazz combo to regularly play with no horns or percussion.

Edit: Video is an extract of Eugene Green's film, Le Pont des Arts, Natacha Régnier's face doesn't hurt the music any...

At the moment it's Lyle Lovett (Live In Texs), Uncle Plum (Uncle Plum), Stevie Ray Vaughan (Couldn't Stand The Weather), ELP ( Welcome Back My Friends...), and Aerosmith (Greatest Hits)...
