The Strokes - Is this it
 

Yes yes I know that there are a lot of strokes haters on the board but you have to admit that their first album is very very decent. In fact it's fucking brilliant. That's why I started this poll.

Pick your favorite song of the "Is this it" album.

I excluded trying your luck because I thought it was the only song I didn't like and I had to eliminate one due the fact that you can only have 10 options.

I picked 'Last Nite', though my favorite Strokes song is 'Reptilia'.

Shit album, spawned off a bunch of even worse bands.

i would use a much more offensive word than "decent" to describe this album.

"rip off" and "overhyped" just start to scratch the surface just a teeny bit.

The Modern age is very nice too. Makes me wanna dance incredible.

Negative nancy's.

Welcome to 2001 everybody!

Negative Nancy's indeed, Trasher. The Strokes are excellent. its the whole critics darlings thing.. the songs are genius in their simplicity.

I love Trying your luck...

is this it was brilliant

room on fire was not so good

first impressions of earth has its moments, but is 10000 times better than room on fire


edit: fun trivia, when i was dropping off janine habeck (playmate) off at the airport, i put on Is This It? and she loved it. I gave her the album and now she's obsessed

too bad you don't know this band called television, they were like the strokes but in the 70's and way better.

Everyneurotic has said it best. Pointless band.

I think there's no comparison between the Strokes and Television. Television sounded like a perpetual guitar fight, Verlaine on one side, Lloyd on the other side. Strokes guitarists are not so bad, but you can't say they 're incredible. Is this it is not Marquee Moon. Not comparable.
Edit : My choice : Someday

Hard To Explain - Breezy

hard to explain, but i like the modern age a lot too.

hard to explain is awesome

I wore this album out when it was released. I have the album after it but I don't think I've ever listened to it really. I think I may have to.

Probably Barely Legal, or Someday.

someday... or hard to explain.
