uh, i don't know, blue orchid? the song that rocked ass off of the album that didn't really rock that much ass? i probably actually spent more time with get behind me, satan than any of the other albums because it was probably one of the most diverse...and showcased a very idiosyncratic version of the white stripes...and it was the current album at the time i was listening to them most heavily.

One of the first songs I learned how to play when I got a guitar was "Hotel Yorba." Another honorable mention to "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground."

Like Oats, the album of theirs I've spent the most time with was Get Behind Me Satan. Lots of really interesting and quirky material on that album. I think my favorite is "The Denial Twist."
"Warren Zevon would be proud." -Reve Mosquito

Stages, an album of about dealing with loss, anxiety, and grieving a difficult year, now available on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms! https://jonporobil.bandcamp.com/album/stages

White Stripes was the 1st date with my wife. They'll always hold a special place in my heart.
To be honest, I spent the whole concert wishing I could play bass for them, I don't like the no bass thing.
The Raconteurs is my favorite Jack White project.

as for White Stripes:

We're Going to be Friends is my pick.

I'm loving the Jakc White solo stuff too, Lazaretto was an awesome album!

"Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine". I dunno, they're all good, or at the very least not bad. Nods to "I'm Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman" and "I Think I Smell a Rat". These all feel like arbitrary answers, though.
