now that you mentioned, I realize how stupid I am because the only song from the Raconteurs I've heard is "Steady as she goes" - which I loved - but I've been too lazy to search for the whole stuff.

same thing with Icky Thump, and all of the recent White Stripes albums. the singles were nowhere as good as those ones from White Blood Cells and I just assumed they are past their peak. they were amazing in "Pretty Good Looking" (from the De Stijl album I believe) and in the whole White Blood Cells album, which is amazing.
