Are The Strokes the new Rolling Stones?

[kerrywins]

I would say the White Stripes...but The Strokes seem to have tighter written songs

1. Uh...no

That's like saying X is the new Picasso...it won't happen again.

2. They're both cool, but...

They're DEFINITELY not the Stones. If anyone came close to replicating the early Stones sound, it would be Jet.

3. when the stones first came out...

their two first albums were pretty much very similar...like the strokes...and the songs all sounded somewhat the same....
so maybe the strokes will grow into a complete package like the stones,....

4. More like the Kinks....

More Garage, more witty, more, even though they sound gruff, pop......

5. but I htink the strokes have alot more good songs

then the kinks...

8. sound track of our lives

7. If these are the Swiss boarding school boyz that had Jimmy Fallon as an

opening act when I saw 'em a couple years ago, I'd have say probably not. I got tix cuz of all they buzz about 'em and I wanted to see them with my own eyes and ears in case they were great, but at our DAR Consitution Hall show they just didn't have any oomph to 'em.

My brother holds the Stones in his own personal pantheon, so I dragged him along with me, and we both enjoyed Jimmy Fallon alot more than the band.
