The Twenty Most Popular White Stripes Songs of All Time
You may recognize the name Gilles LeBlanc as a guy who helps me sort through some of the many hundreds of music submissions this site gets every month. He also does his own writing on the side.
One of his recent projects was to crowd source White Stripes fans to create the definitive list of Jack and Meg’s best songs.
Here are the results. (Frankly, I’d rank “Jolene” much. much higher–but that’s just me.)
More info can be found here.
