What Does It Take To Reopen A Hotel During The Pandemic? 7. Parsing White’s discography can be a tricky endeavor because of how eclectic it is. Broken Train Released just a week after announcing it existed, this Raconteur album occasionally finds itself awkwardly sitting in between soft and loud. Freedom at 21

It’s a melodic but bittersweet kiss-off to a lover he has abandoned after deciding she no longer cares for him. 7. Well It's True That We Love One Another, 1. Adding, “If you were to ask me what I thought the record sounds like, I don’t really know.” It’s tough to put a clear stamp on something when you’re still trying to figure who the hell you are in the first place. Runtime:33:42 (10 tracks) “They’re Gonna Rip It Off” (Best Song): While much of Broken Boy Soldiers is unexceptional, The Raconteurs’ debut single, “Steady, As She Goes”, remains a staple of aughts rock. Fell in Love with a Girl Lyrically, it picks up on an old theme of White’s writing, painting an old-timey take on romance. “Hustle And Cuss” is a knotty, twisted duet that I heartily enjoyed, and “I Can’t Hear You” simmers with bad intentions, but overall it’s hard to shake the feeling that this is nothing more than an undercooked side project that could have definitely benefited from a Rick Rubin-figure in the studio stripping away some of the more superfluous sonic window-dressing. Underrated Gem: ‘I Can’t Wait’. 2. Just early access to exclusive studio sessions, HD gigs, interviews and more. 2. Underrated Gem: ‘Missing Pieces’. Third Man Records, It’s hard to find any flaws in Jack and Meg’s third full-length album, White Blood Cells. Full confession: Before putting this list together, I had totally forgotten this record even existed. Torrential Outpour Blues 13. Salute Your Solution “You cut a record on my throat,” White, a vinyl lover, sings here, “but the record’s not broken.” Like all of his best songs, I Cut Like a Buffalo delves into the past for inspiration, this time adding elements of funk and goth and coming up with something that feels equal to what came before.

Underrated Gem: ‘Three Women’. Guess I'm Doing Fine 4. 8. “When you touch my hand and talk sweet talk, I got a knockin’ in my knees,” he sings, like a sailor from the 1920s writing love letters home to his sweetheart.

6. Weep Themselves to Sleep We're Going to Be Friends 13. Mixed Bizness Underrated Gem: ‘Why Can’t You Be Nicer To Me’. Beyond the fact that the music within is stone-cold boring — reader, I’ve tried with this album, I really have, through headphones, hi-fi speaker systems, airplane rides; hell, I even played it non-stop on a road trip through Nashville, it just doesn’t do it for me — all of the conversation surrounding it when it first debuted centered on how cool the hologram at the center of the record was. It’s a shame The White Stripes went out on this record. In 2012 White set sail on what a lot of people would argue was an overdue solo voyage. Little One I would hesitate to call it a “perfect” rock record, but it comes pretty damn close. 16. 1. Take Me with You When You Go, 1. The Golden Age Jack White has produced some very fine music in the years since 2001 when he and Meg dropped this album, but White Blood Cells remains the bar which he has yet to clear. 9. Hotel Yorba 8. Boarding House Reach, his latest solo project, did not make the list in either direction, but it is a fun, multifaceted record that I would highly recommend checking out. This Protector, 1. On the verge of releasing two live albums gave us an excuse to revisit the extensive back catalogue of Sir Jack White. We're ranking the best Jack White albums of all time, including all The White Stripes albums, The Raconteurs albums, and The Dead Weather albums. Lyrical tropes aside, I’m Shakin’ showed White’s ability to develop his sound, blending in elements of funk and gospel to his blues-pop style. 2. The Switch and the Spur Opening with a plodding bassline courtesy of Jack Lawrence, White’s sinewy guitar riff soon gives way to a huge singalong chorus. E-Pro 9. 5. Out of the 13 albums on the list, this is the least guitar focused of the bunch. All in all, a mature, well timed release for White. It’s a relentless listen – never lapsing in energy nor lacking in feeling, yet it just misses out on the top spot…, Lead Single: ‘Seven Nation Army’ It’s a throwback that feels fresh. Girl He gained fame with the blues and garage-rock group the White Stripes and has since worked with everyone from Loretta Lynn to Beyoncé. I Can't Wait 2. What I don’t like is when White’s most baffling and unnecessary predilections get in the way of creating something actually good. The Same Boy You've Always Known Emergency Exit, 1. That I think is my biggest problem with his second solo album, Lazaretto. Hold Up Carolina Drama, Sympathy for the Record Industry, Third Man Records (Cassette). More indulgent and maximal than the White Stripes’ fiercely analogue leanings, the Raconteurs signalled the eventual end of the band. 7. I’m Shakin’ is a highlight from his warmly received debut solo album, Blunderbuss (2012). Writing achievements include winning a bunch of 25 word or less comps, which makes me a specialist at Haikus. ‘Ball and Biscuit’ is arguably Whites most impressive guitar work to date, while on the other end of the spectrum ‘The Hardest Button to Button’ is one of his simplest composed tracks ever, but as catchy as hell. 2.

They presented themselves to the public as brother and sister and released their self-titled debut album in 1999. Nevertheless, he delivered in spades with a very personal release.

From that, you can stick a big ‘concept album’ sticker on it, which gives ambiguous tracks ‘Little Room’ and ‘Aluminium’ meaning. That being said, it’s the rock songs where Jack White really shines, and White Blood Cells contains some of the best he’s ever put together. Milk & Honey There are glimmers of brilliance, like “High Ball Stepper” — not coincidentally a purely instrumental freakout — but the rest of the Lazaretto never really gets the heart going above 60 BPMs. 14. She has all but vanished from the music scene since the duo officially retired in 2011, but an album of songs like this one would always be welcome. We’re given piano driven ballads such as ‘Forever For Her (Is Over For Me), ‘White Moon’ and spine-tingling suggestive track ‘I’m Lonely (But I Ain’t That Lonely Yet)’.

4. White and co. ironically advise an ambiguous “you” (maybe the list… More political in tone than most of their material, this song has White rallying against the “big three” – 1950s motoring giants Chrysler, Ford and General Motors – when he finds himself penniless after paying to have his car fixed. Expecting 7. To celebrate the first “new, worldwide commercially released White Stripes song since 2008”, we’ve decided to have a look back at their discography and decide which albums we like best and which we… listen to least. 7. Slower song ‘Truth Doesn’t Make a Noise’ is a haunting sonnet to say the least, while the relaxed country vibes in ‘Your Southern Can Is Mine’ is about as hick as White’s ever been. From opening track ‘Jimmy The Exploder’, White puts on a clinic in rock fundamentals – rhythmic guitar for verses and fast-paced power chords for choruses. While most would agree that he laid down his best and most innovative work as one half of the White Stripes, some people prefer the wider sound he tapped into on his later solo records, or as a member of the Raconteurs. 4. 6. The horn rich single ‘Many of Shades Black’ was an innovative approach for White yet that’s about as refreshing as the record gets. 2. Yet it isn’t all swashbuckling riffs, the Dylan cover ‘One More Cup of Coffee’ is more haunting than the original, while ‘I Fought Piranhas’ shows musical maturity beyond Whites years (he was 23 at the time of its release). If you’re going to go out, it’s always preferable to go out on a high note. An underrated skill of White’s is to imbue songs with melodrama (also listen to the band’s stirring live rendition of Jolene by Dolly Parton). Five on the Five Now Mary 2.

13. Our pick for the most underrated album of the bunch. You’re either hit with a wailing, distorted track where White’s guitar goes bonkers, or a smooth ballad that’s best appreciated when perceived as a poem with a backing track. Go It Alone Lead Single: ‘Love Interruption’ Bar opening track ‘You’re Pretty Good Looking For a Girl’ there’s no real in between for De Stijl. Another White Blood Cells highlight, Hotel Yorba catches White “thinking of a place down by the lake”, where he and his lover can be alone to stomp their feet on the wooden boards and never worry about locking the door. Underrated Gem: ‘I’m Slowly Turning Into You’. 10. Underrated Gem: ‘Mile Markers’. With this being said, it’s hard to categorise this album into a more lyric or guitar driven release, but that’s the beauty of it. I get that environment influences music-making, but this album sounds like White became consumed with the staid sounds in Nashville country rather than attempt to put his own stamp on that particular milieu.

Let’s hear it for Meg then on the Elephant cut In the Cold, Cold Night, where she lends a delicate and airy vocal. Rental Car It’s the moment the Stripes went from garage-rocking, underground curios, to opening for The Rolling Stones, and playing in front of millions on national television via the MTV Video Music Awards. “The Hardest Button To Button” is an obvious banger — the Simpson-ification of that particular song is tremendous — “Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine,” is one of the most potent marriages of blues rock and punk ever recorded, and “In The Cold, Cold Night,” is Meg’s best vocal entry into the White Stripes canon; her Moe Tucker/Velvet Underground/”After Hours” moment, if you will. Then there’s his whole Dead Weather divergence, with Alison Mosshart of The Kills on lead vocals, and Jack manning the backbeat. Meg White got a raw deal during her White Stripes days. 9. 5. 5. 4. I really like that he just seems to be more eccentric in this album. 12. Missing Pieces Whether it was a shift in the musical approach, or trying something new vocal wise, the obscure tracks you find on Icky Thump aren’t the best in a long list of ambiguous fillers White often uses to theme an album. I doubt anyone can dispute that, but the 12 place slot for Consolers of the Lonely – let me explain. Blunderbuss Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground Gut-wrenching lyrics, “there was no one with me, I was all alone” yelled out in painful desperation makes for an emotional live performance. After playing in local Detroit bands while working as an upholsterer, Jack White formed the White Stripes in 1997 with his then wife, Meg. 12. The intro to ‘Little Acorns’ makes it one of the most memorable Stripes hits whilst the signature call and response in ‘It’s True That We Love One Another’ is a fine fitting closing track. Top Yourself If you think the greatest Beck albums aren't high enough on the list, then be sure to vote so they receive due credit. 9. There’s also a surprising amount of aural dexterity. Hotwax He nails a high-pitched shriek, making tangible the hurt in a line as simple as “planning everything for two / doing everything with you”. Listed as the band’s drummer, White took a backseat for the garage band with the Kills’ Alison Mosshart on vocals. 12.

Hypocritical Kiss No spam. On the verge of releasing two live albums gave us an excuse to revisit the extensive back catalogue of Sir Jack White.

If your ears haven’t latched on by the end of that, the intro to second track, ‘Stop Breaking Down’ demands your attention. 13 Lefties Who Taught Themselves To Play Right-Handed, Red Hot Chili Peppers, A Timeline of Members & Their Influences, Slash feat. 3. 6. Listening from start to finish is like condensing a lengthy relationship down into 40:25 minutes and assessing how each party was feeling throughout. On De Stijl, the White Stripes grew their raw sound, adding country twang on I’m Bound to Pack It Up and hinting that White was more than a mere MC5 revivalist.
