The Strokes

An overpriviledged Manhattanite band that, despite constantly being held by clueless critics as the epitome of garage rock, have very little to do with the genre. Much more in common with the brit-pop blended version of rock like that of The Killers than the truely raw and soulful sounds of The Gories or The Stooges. For real garage, see: The Demolition Doll Rods, The Makers, the older music of The Von Bondies, and yes, The White Stripes.

Those iTunes critics even liken The Libertines to The Strokes - come on now!!!

The Strokes

A piece of shit band who attempt to copy the velvet underground and fail miserably. They are all incapable of performing a decent solo.

Q. Whats the difference bettween the strokes and a bucket of shit.

The Strokes

A band with interesting guitar, yet has one of the worst singers ever. His voice is so boring it kills the music, although when he belts he sounds good. But his regular singing voice is very boring. Just listen to the song "Reptilia", the guitar intro is great but then the vocals come in and kill the entire flow.

The Strokes are good but their singer sucks, they need a new one.
