As far as mainstream (kinda) modern rock/roll that actually winds up on the radio, the White Stripes are pretty much as good as it gets. (strictly speaking of popular rock, here)
I can't believe how interesting they managed to sound with only two instruments and a rather limited general sound (garage rock), or how heavy they were. I also can't quite wrap my mind around how awesome a guitarist Jack White is.
I know- they're a pop band and everyone knows about them. But so what? At least a FEW of those bands have to be good.
Stripes are one of'em.
