This song is very similar to “You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket.” This is one main example of why Elephant is not my favorite White Stripes album. I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mother’s Heart (Elephant) There are so many slow songs at the bottom of this list, but with the garage rock genre, you can’t beat out the faster songs like “Seven Nation Army” and “Icky Thump.” This song is so slow it literally drags - probably intentionally, but it doesn’t make the song likeable. This song probably beat out the other two because of the scene from the Under the Great White Northern Lights documentary when Meg gets so emotional she starts crying and Jack hugs her when he’s done playing. The song goes somewhere and you can understand it, but there are still better ballads and the song is just forgettable. White Moon (Get Behind Me Satan)Īnother song similar to “Forever For Her” and “As Ugly As I Seem,” but with a better balance between the music and the vocals. The White Stripes pulled that vibe off well on Icky Thump, but on Get Behind Me Satan, “Little Ghost” is a joke. I find myself singing aloud to “There’s No Home for You Here” more often than I’d like to admit, but while the chorus is catchy, it’s also annoying. Spoiler alert for this list: despite popular opinion, Elephant is not my favorite album. This song is similar to As Ugly As I Seem, but with better dynamics. Forever For Her (Is Over For Me) (Get Behind Me Satan) The song remains static for most of its progression, and it’s forgettable after the first stanza of it. But there are so many other better songs similar to “As Ugly As I Seem” to pay attention to. I love it when Jack White decides to get quiet, and those ballad-type songs are some of my favorites across many of his other groups. I like how it sounds like Meg, Jack, and Holly having a conversation with each other, but other than that, the song can get annoying quick. I feel really guilty for ranking this one so far down the list, but I have to be honest: it’s not that good of a song. It’s True That We Love One Another (Elephant) But the music is so loud it drowns out the vocals, and while I can appreciate the idea of it with going to war, it’s not enjoyable it’s just noise. I hate to start off this list pointing my finger at one of Meg’s features. Andrew (This Battle is in the Air) (Icky Thump) So now, I’m going to be ranking ALL of The White Stripes, not including any covers or tracks not featured on studio albums.ħ9. Though Jack White has moved on from this section of his past, The White Stripes continues as the biggest break of his career. Known as probably the greatest garage rock duo of the 2000s, The White Stripes’ discography has aged well into our time now despite their breakup in 2011.
