-Do you still buy music? If so, where? -What is your most anticipated release of 2020? -Which albums have an anniversary year this year that you hope could mean a tour / reissue / celebration? -Post a song you’re listening to this week and a genuine thought about why you like it. -I very occasionally buy some records from one of two local record shops, but thats pretty much the only time I buy music. And I try not to go to the record shop very often because I dont have the money for it -Frank Ocean. If there's a new Car Seat Headrest that'd be there too -I'd kill for a 10th anniversary tour or even show for The Monitor but the way Patrick talks about that record makes me think itll never happen. Excited to see High Violet in full at Homecoming.
-I dont know a single song but the Ty Segall talk like yesterday made me listen to Slaughterhouse again which still rips

I just found out that Spotify discontinued their running feature that would change songs on the fly by BPM depending on how fast you were running. Super bummed.

 Random thought / debate: I remember whoever introduced the band this night (Lin Brehmer, maybe?) called them: "The World's Greatest American Band" or something like that. Had me thinking: who do you think is the Greatest American Band of, say, the post-Nirvana world? I wanted to let this dip into the 90s, so we could properly include two of my first thoughts: Wilco and Yo La Tengo. Let's discuss! Edit: I would obviously include Phish here as well, but that almost feels like cheating / pandering to the heads. Edit II: Plus, I feel like studio albums fell them here, even though I'm a sympathizer with their LPs. Wilco and YLT consistently produce great studio records, great live shows, and have other intangibles I feel are important (willingness to evolve, dedicated fan community, outward passion for music nerdiness). |

Is it The Strokes? By my completely arbitrary criteria - I would say no. They had maybe the biggest BANG of any 21st century American band, but haven't moved the needle much since Room on Fire, or "Under Cover Of Darkness." Plus their live shows are sporadic and generally tepidly received.
But feel free to reject this criteria and substitute your own! Bringing back an old board debate - they have cast perhaps the largest influence of any U.S. band since Nirvana. Some people also seem to like their latest records too!

Did the White Stripes do enough in their ~10 years to warrant this crown? I honestly am not sure, though disappearing for 15 years feels like long enough to knock them down a peg.
Is their catalogue fading in popular memory / indie rock canon? I'd certainly hope not - I don't want them to become largely known as "The Seven Nation Army Band." But also, it feels unfair to knock them for having a *massively* popular, ubiquitous song. Certainly with larger impact than anything Wilco or YLT ever did.
I guess, in my mind, popular impact / influence does not equate to Greatness. Tho it doesn't hurt. Has Jack White's eccentricity hurt their legacy? Or has his cameos in certain massive cultural moments (Lemonade, ATCQ comeback) boosted their notoriety?

Man, I wish their reunion tour had culminated in some new music. Can you believe that was like 8 years ago already? |

I don't have much of a connection to The Strokes, Wilco or YLT beyond enjoying a few songs here and there. Never really feel like revisiting their albums. I feel like there's something I'm missing.
My opinion, in terms of output - TV on the Radio and The Walkmen probably belong in the conversation.

But I'm getting into personal preference, and I get that.
White Stripes are probably bigger now than they ever were at their peak. That reunion tour would sell out instantly even if it's not much different than a current Jack White set.

My opinion, in terms of output - TV on the Radio and The Walkmen probably belong in the conversation. Yea, to be clear, I'm not really expecting an objective answer here. Even if I'm using outward criteria like influence / impact / innovation - those will fall short if the band just doesn't move you, ya know? How much does putting together a consistent live show matter to you? To me, that's a big part of this debate, as that's a major way I connect with music. TV on the Radio have crushed every time I've seen them, but I wish they would come around more than once every half decade. |

I've never seen Wilco at a venue smaller than Red Rocks which I'm sure impacts my impression of their live show. YLT, too. I think the thing that annoys me about those two bands in particular is they're incredibly focused on either Chicago or NYC - that's where it seems you have to be to get the full experience from either band.
TV on the Radio have always been incredible in a live setting, whether it be at a fest or in a smaller venue or opening up for a larger band in an arena. They always bring the same energy, and that's notable to me.

But - following this logic - I'm kinda auto-DQ'ing bands that broke up before I could see them (circa 2014-ish). Kind of unfair criteria, but I would go to bat for the White Stripes maybe in spite of this. Your point about them selling out a reunion tour is interesting, and hard to argue with. Do you think they'd sell out a national arena tour? Def in the big cities for sure. |

I think the band should be widely beloved - household name-adjacent. I mean everyone knew who Nirvana were.

Yeah I think if The White Stripes announced a full arena tour it'd sell out pretty quickly. They're just such a large part of pop culture at this point - you can't turn on a sporting event without hearing them pop up.

Also, this is random but I always forget that the Walkmen are American. I've read Meet Me In The Bathroom and everything, but they just seem very British to me for some reason. Interpol gives me UK vibes too lmao.

If you can dump shit on people and still remain popular then you are definitely the most quintessential American band.
