Meg and Jack White known as The White Stripes

Jack met Meg in a club in Detroit. And started jamming together shortly after they married in June of 96 where Jake took Megs last name. Then started to work on a album around late 96 and put out their first album in 99. In followed by another 1 year later. In 2001 they divorced but kept playing. That same year the 3rd album White Blood Cells dropped and became their breakthrough album that went platinum. They would put out 3 more albums before the break up. Not to bad for a two person band that started as a novelty act never expecting one or two albums before people lost interests. Not only that but now they have made it into the rock and roll Hall of Fame this year and will be inducted in December. The first song I heard from them was Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. Loved that song so I dug deeper and the more I did the more I liked. So I'm going to play some of my favorites this one being my very favorite. The guitar playing is what took me in first then the lyrics. Absolutely beautiful song. I'll play my second favorite a bit later. Join in the comments and post your favorite song by this incredible band

Excellent band. Saw them at a bar called the Gold Dollar in Detroit in their very early days.

@Bartleby There's a documentary of them on YouTube where people seen them open for bands and couldn't believe the energy they gave off. I would have loved to seen that

@MissNen It was pretty wild. I almost left because I was skeptical of this 2-piece band fronted by a guy who had been the drummer for another local band. But then they played and I’m like “OK! This is something!”

I can imagine when they went on and seen two people wondering where the bass player was. Then everyone picking their jaw off the floor

It took reading an interview with Jack where he called Meg's drumming "her woman caveman thing" to understand what he was getting at.
You are really making me feel 40 right now
