A ranking of The White Stripes' six studio albums. =================================== Follow your melon: Twitter: / theneedledrop Instagram: @afantano FB: / theneedledrop
Also with his get behind me satan review....which has "red rain" one of the most beautiful thoughtful songs every written in my opinion...like cmon now..."get behind me satan" and "icky thump" are beautiful albums
Rag n Bone was in your 10 loved white stripes songs and yet you said you “don’t get it at all”, if there was such a large change of opinion I’d assume you’d at least understand the appeal of the song
Ok I thought I was going crazy. How do you go from thinking it's top 10 in their whole discography to specifically pointing it out as one of the worst White Stripes songs ever?
Yeah, but I actually like hearing some of his thoughts on specific tracks and how he feels it fits into the discographies. I wouldn’t like it all that much if all he did was plop it in a tier and move on.
@@OpaqueVisions47 No, but you should hurry up and buy one of these sleek minimalist wallets before Anthony murders your family. Then you'll really be missing something.
Can't believe we let Anthony get away with the terrible atrocities he commits and let it slide because of the quality of his vids, it's truly a tragedy
This is what I thought was happening when I saw this. Maybe we can get a Pink Floyd tier list since he doesn't feel like doing a worst to best on that.
Hello Mr. Fantano, I'm sorry to inform you this but the icky thump seems to be out of place. You placed it in the D tier when you ment to put it in the A or B. Yours truly, 4/10
the fact that he mentioned the white stripes in a recent lets argue makes me think he's been listening to them a lot the past couple weeks so maybe his opinion changed
Get Behind Me Satan was supposed to not sound like Elephant. Whenever you have a hugely successful album (like Elephant) the smartest thing you can do artistically is to make the polar opposite of it. GBMS is one of my favorite albums and a lot of the songs on it, (Blue Orchid, The Nurse, Forever For Her (Is Over For Me), White Moon, and Red Rain) are some of their best and most "psychedelic" they ever got to sounding. Its definitely underrated.
A lot of the (weirder) songs on Get Behind Me Satan have a certain charm for me. Little Ghost, White Moon, and I'm Lonely (But Ain't That Lonely Yet) just have so much emotion to them. Jack and Meg's relationship was so mysterious and when they reminisce like this, it just gets to me. It's not my favorite White Stripes album, but I think it's got a lot of heart.
@@kriptodjali9235 Authorial Intent. ≠ Consistency. Also not sure what's so country about that album other than little ghost. Maybe relative to their other material you could say that.
Icky Thump is a great album and probably one of the most sonically diverse in their discography. I'd put it and White Blood Cells in S with Elephant, their debut and De Stijl in A, and Get Behind me Satan in B.
Deep Girl that wasn't a new track, it was an extra track on a moon shaped pool which was on the CD or something like that. They just decided to put it on streaming services not too long ago
As a die-hard white stripes fan, Icky Thump is on most days what i would say is my favourite album of theirs. Maybe its just me, but Icky Thump, Im Slowly Turning Into You, Catch Hell Blues, Little Cream Soda, 300mph Torrential Outpour Blue, and Marty For My Love For You, are all imo great great songs.
Omg it finally happened. I finally disagree with the melon. Is this what it feels like? Having an independent opinion? Hmm. Should try it more often. For me personally, I like the experimental, dark and gritty vibe of Icky Thump. It’s not perfect (what is) but the 180 from the direction of accessibility to trying something different not because it would get them in the hot 100 but for the sake of experimenting with their roots at a time songs like Buy U a Drank (oof) were hitting the charts. I would have their self titled album and Icky Thump sit comfortably at C. Closes the circle of life in their discography, which can’t be said for the majority of bands. I LOVE the tier system for ranking discographies. I really enjoyed this and want to see more!
Get Behind Me Satan was recorded in jacks living room so he definitely wasn't trying to get away from the "minimalist" aspect. It's different for sure though, lots more piano and less grungy blues.
yeah id say icky thump is a solid B for me. GBMS id put at C because I got a lot of listens to that album as a kid (like, 10 year old kid) and its definitely more enjoyable than Anthony gives it credit for. But overall id say its ok.
I can understand Melon's take on all of these albums, especially the gradual improvement up until Elephant. But while I did not like the final two records of this band when I first listened to them, they've really grown on me. A deeper listen on the lyrics and gaining a better understanding of what Jack and Meg were going for kind of unlocked them for me. Different, and for sure lacking some of the initial draws for the Stripes, but still really good IMO
Love this idea for a faster discography rating system. Would LOVE it even more if you were to make a follow up video to this one where you start with the white stripes albums listed as is, and end with all of Jack Whites different solo and super group projects added! ILY
Loved this video man! It was crazy how much you really appreciated that the band’s name is White Stripes and then continued to explain how if it were any other color you probably wouldn’t even bother to download their discography
Hey Anthony, I got a question, I hope you respond to it. Do you rate these albums in realtion to other TWS albums solely or do you relate them accordingly to ALL other rock/all music albums? It is a somewhat important because I don't know if your B of De Stijl in this list is higher rated than ie. Weezer White Album for example or not.
Really good series idea, definitely good for getting more videos in a "worst to best" vein without driving you crazy. Would like to see more of it. I've always preferred White Blood Cells to Elephant, I just found it more refreshing and varied than any other Stripes album. Maybe cos it's the first one of theirs I'd heard as well, but it's just really stuck with me since I first heard it (I was probably 13 at the time).
Yeah nah Icky Thump needs to be atleast A Tier that album from start to Little Cream Soda is so enjoyable although I do agree with the rest. What about a Influential Nu Metal Records tier list? Just what you think the top 10 or so Nu metal albums are
You got me watching again because I've listened to all these albums but I skipped to the end to see how they all panned out to you and actually I'm different from most White Stripes fans because De Stijl is my favorite. After buying White Blood Cells and even Elephant when I bought this third or even fourth after their debut I was blown away. The blues covers are top shelf and the whole rest of the album matches that energy with its own stripped down garage rock meets the blues style. I love the slide guitar, I love Meg co-singing on "Your Southern Can Is Mine", the violin, electric or otherwise was a nice touch, and I honestly can't see why this wasn't their breakthrough instead of White Blood Cells as it did come out before.
A tier list for beck would be cool. I’m in the process of listening to his albums, and to me it seems like he covers a lot of different styles over a long time, not to mention it seems like everyone has a different favorite album of his. I’d love to hear melon share his thoughts
Icky Thump is honestly my favourite by far. Probably because it's more experimental and varied in sound, and similar to what he did with the Raconteurs which I enjoy more than the White Stripes
Hey Anthony i really like this Tier List format. Maybe you could do it in a way where you talk more about each album, and maybe even rank them from WORST to BEST
This is definitely a great idea for the bands people want to see worst to bests for but you dont have the time to make one for or dont think quite need one. Pls more
I mostly agree with this list, except I'd easily put Icky Thump in B tier. The sort of throwaway experiments drag it down ("This Battle Is In The Air" is the first I think of), but songs like the title track, "Catch Hell Blues", and "300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues" could have fit onto Elephant without much problem.
for what it's worth i like your tier lists better than "worst to best" because they arrange an artist's discography chronologically and more easily tell a story than just "i like this album better than this one"
I really love the one-dementionality of the self titled album. It makes it feel like they pressed record and recorded the entire album in one take. Just my feelings on it.
This is a cool concept. You should do these for metal albums. Lots of metal bands with big discographies out there, that probably wouldn't be worth your while to do a "Worst to Best" on
I'm 24, teaching, studying, overcome by certain nostalgia and two of the time-machines that I'm out to salve it with, are the White Stripes discography - counting among my earliest music purchases at all - and Anthony's videos, that other foundation of my musical life. A big, random thanks to both!
Am I the only one who has the White Stripes self titled debut as their favorite record by them? There’s so much anger and rawness that’s so eye popping that I just love. White Blood Cells is a close second for me
I know that I am three years late, but I am really suprised to see a comment like that. I have never heard of anyone (except myself) that thinks that the self titled is the best. It's a really great and underrated album, I actually love it more than most of their work. Btw if you haven't listened to their tracks that they didn't include in the debut, you should listen to red bowling ball ruth, lafayette blues, and let's shake hands (I am sure, that you heard the third)
Thanks for Best to Werst videos! I’m unbelievably grateful to have a legit guide to follow instead of spending, literally, hours of Amazon review searches. *!Viva el Melon Pelon!* (Can you do The Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age, or Portishead? 😬)
Was the 19 minute bass cover of seven nation army really necessary?
Lmao
It was 100% necessary. I've been waiting for this.
Finally a new version of the "fantano is racist" meme that is funny.
And if i catch you with a red flannel i'm gonna burn your review
And that ain't what you wanna hear but that's what i'll do
I came
hard disagree about icky thump. never disrespect rag and bone like that again.
It's a maaaannnnnsion
Michael Ortiz look at all this stuff!
Ahh good, a sane person.
I honestly don’t care much for Icky Thump either. D tier is a good spot.
Icky Thump one of my favorite albums of all time.
The WHITE Stripes: okay
The BLACK Keys: not that good
hmmmmm
Jesus Of Suburbia brilliantly put
The Big Come Up, Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory were good albums.
Ohioans and Michiganders are rivals at damn near everything from Sports to Music.
MICHIGAN: Sub-Zero
OHIO: Scorpion
Michael Gray: it's alright
Black Keys are an enormous fucking rip off and they are a bar band that got lucky.
you should do this for aphex twin so I can disagree with you and complain about it
needle drop fans in a nutshell
At least he was honest
I liked this until you called out Rag and Bone. That’s my favorite White Stripes song :( You also didn’t have to sleep with my sister
Your sister just likes his Vegan prowess. She can't resist, I'm sorry man.
He also said Rag N Bone was one of his favorite songs from the White Stripes on another video
Also with his get behind me satan review....which has "red rain" one of the most beautiful thoughtful songs every written in my opinion...like cmon now..."get behind me satan" and "icky thump" are beautiful albums
Rag n Bone was in your 10 loved white stripes songs and yet you said you “don’t get it at all”, if there was such a large change of opinion I’d assume you’d at least understand the appeal of the song
My thoughts exactly, sir
I like that track, don't really see what's so bad about it honestly
Yeah like wtf
He loves to change his mind about Alt Rock songs a lot.
Ok I thought I was going crazy. How do you go from thinking it's top 10 in their whole discography to specifically pointing it out as one of the worst White Stripes songs ever?
Melon: Don't want to write a mini review for each album.
*Proceeds to do exactly that
JLT for real
JLT It’s a mini mini review
Yeah, but I actually like hearing some of his thoughts on specific tracks and how he feels it fits into the discographies. I wouldn’t like it all that much if all he did was plop it in a tier and move on.
Great vid Anthony but I've never heard of the album "Ridge Wallet", how did it get the S tier?
@@OpaqueVisions47 No, but you should hurry up and buy one of these sleek minimalist wallets before Anthony murders your family. Then you'll really be missing something.
Disgusting Old Leather Wallet was an F
@@OpaqueVisions47 yes. A brain.
Cool list Anthony, but can you stop sitting outside my house at 3 am in your car. It scares the kids and worries the wife. Great vid tho
Jodhan G hahaha this is one of the better ones
@@MrBananabart Yep, definitely. This takes the cake as being one of the better ones.
@os terminal They can't sleep because they are afraid of the ball buff man staring into their rooms all night.
I'm gonna create a tier list for fantano comment. Yours is going in the A row.
Can't believe we let Anthony get away with the terrible atrocities he commits and let it slide because of the quality of his vids, it's truly a tragedy
Hey Anthony, great video! Just a friendly reminder that your court date is tomorrow at 9:30 am EST. Have a good rest of your day Anthony!
Meloncide
Melon owns the judges in his town
Hes in cali
Melon roasts the judges for having a gravely voice, and then rates them a 0 out of ten for not having enough lil pump.
Impossible to roast when you're cold like Minnesota
Better production, better sounds, better variety ofofof um songs and song writing, better ingredients, better pizza. Papa John's.

Please do these tier lists as a shorthand for bands who you don't think need a Worst to Best
Excellent idea
This is what I thought was happening when I saw this. Maybe we can get a Pink Floyd tier list since he doesn't feel like doing a worst to best on that.
Deerhoof
I feel like this format would be better suited for bands with larger discographies myself
King Rat Hole agreed
With the new tier list format, I think you could fit in the discographies of The Beatles and Pink Floyd.....
*Please, Papa Melon.*
MrBrandalfTheWhite yessssss
Just throw in all the other overrated bands
Caleb Angell Cold take, my guy.
@@calebangell77 such an edgy and totally new idea.
He could even do Led Zeppelin they have what 8 albums
Hello Mr. Fantano, I'm sorry to inform you this but the icky thump seems to be out of place. You placed it in the D tier when you ment to put it in the A or B.
Yours truly, 4/10
Thank you.
LOL An A or a B?? What the hell.
@@KillerQueenDopamine dont you dare speak on icky thumps name, for it is holy and at least B at the very least

I'm sorry, but Icky Thump is one of their best albums, very consistent tracklist and just a lot of great songs
George Thomas he forgot to mention catch hell blues which is one of their best songs
@@ShanesSquirrelShack *OOOooOOooHHHH-aa-OOO* *fRANTic SLIDE PLAYING in distance*
YUP.
Completely agree! I really enjoy it and still listen to it quite often, but of course, everyone has their own taste in music.

Aydin Matney 100% agree, also “take take take” is a great song
It is my least favorite album of theirs, but it has some real gems. I saw res rain live at the greek it was awesome
whenever you have a brilliant album like Elephant, the smartest thing you can do artistically is to make a dogshit album like Get Behind Me Satan 💀
I agree about Get Behind Me Satan being a downgrade from their earlier work. Cool video. Unsubbed.
original
Tommy M can’t lie I laughed
subtle. understated.
@wayward_wyn r/whoosh
@wayward_wyn fair enough
A lot of the (weirder) songs on Get Behind Me Satan have a certain charm for me. Little Ghost, White Moon, and I'm Lonely (But Ain't That Lonely Yet) just have so much emotion to them.

"I'm Lonely" makes me cry. Gorgeous song.
Make a 00's rock tier list Fantano!!
the strokes, the white stripes, the killers, the shins, etc, etc
metal fingers he gots to include the libertines
@@alien9422 arctic monkeys as well please bet hed put the new one top though 🤢
And QOTSA!
@@SmEliot21 Did that actually. Everyone got a C or higher, but I'd give Era Vulgaris a D
Can we all at least agree that the title track to icky thump is amazing?
The whole album is amazing!
Yup. Absolutely.
@@bubblebassdeluxe2069 Agreed. Love the album!
Honestly icky thump is pretty good as a whole, catch hell blues is so good it could rival sex and pizza
300MPH is a great track off that album
Me: Blue Orchid is my favorite White Stripes song, I can't wait to see what Anthony thinks about it!
I'm sorry man. It ain't good.
If it helps, Blue Orchid is also my favourite song by them.
Hey man, it’s my personal favorite from them too ;-;
@Milo O' Rourke Get Behind Me Satan doesn't make sense as a white stripes album though. (Red Rain is the exception)
@@jadesdedExcept the fact that, you know, the White Stripes made it like that. Its the country side of Jack poppin off and its weirdly beautiful.

Thanks for helping me study for my calculus exam Anthony. I got an A because of you.
Excellent. Melon would have punished you if you didn’t.
Icky Thump is a great album and probably one of the most sonically diverse in their discography. I'd put it and White Blood Cells in S with Elephant, their debut and De Stijl in A, and Get Behind me Satan in B.
I agree but I would put their debut in B and get behind me satan in C.
De Stijl is in the A row for me. It’s such an underrated, solid album in my opinion and I return to it quite a bit
Any White is Right for Anthony
Do the strokes
or get one
Classic classy
The New Abnormal gotta be at least A tier
Thanks for paying for my son's surgery, Anthony. I really appreciate it.
Hey you should do a Nickelback tier list to spice things up.
I second this. I will die on this hill
PLZ ANTHONY AT THIS POINT IM BASICALLY BEGGING PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON THE RADIOHEAD LEAKS, THANK YOU
I love Radiohead
@@sevenminutestildawn what new track
Ew no
Deep Girl its not really leaks as they released them themselves
Deep Girl that wasn't a new track, it was an extra track on a moon shaped pool which was on the CD or something like that. They just decided to put it on streaming services not too long ago
I’d love to see a Tom Waits Tier List
King Crimson please, would be super dope.
Yes! I second this
Yes!
Some artists to do: Velvet Underground, Converge, Fugazi, Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, Black Flag, GY!BE, Sonic Youth
Carlos Quinones I think a worst to best would work better with velvet underground since they have quite a small discography.
VU and Hendrix's discographies are quite short, so he should combine them somehow.
@@LilRotte3 wtf no, thats fucking stupid
As a die-hard white stripes fan, Icky Thump is on most days what i would say is my favourite album of theirs.

I agree. I'd also put it at C.
It reminds me of Kid A, career wise.
Was with you completely until Rag & Bone. That song still gets me head banging still to this day
8 years after the “10 White Stripes Songs I Love” video and Anthony still thinks Death Letter is a White Stripes original
agreed with everything... until Icky Thump. That's at least a B-tier
Tbh all their album covers are so cool as well, such simple yet creative and recognisable style
Huh, I guess his opinion changed on Rag and Bone. That made his favorite white stripes songs list a couple years back
Get Behind Me Satan was recorded in jacks living room so he definitely wasn't trying to get away from the "minimalist" aspect. It's different for sure though, lots more piano and less grungy blues.
Elephant is one of my favourite albums, ever, so I'm glad to see you gave it the respect it deserves. Thanks, Melon.

Would love to see a tier list for King Gizzard when their new album drops
Great video, would love to see more of this series.
I think King Gizz deserve the next tier list video!
King gizz sucks
I love tier lists, you should do more
i feel like this format could work wonders with artists with immense discographies
like The Shags!
Pink Floyd tier list, and then wort to best. Along with The Mars Volta.
Thanks for Best to Werst videos! I’m unbelievably grateful to have a legit guide to follow instead of spending, literally, hours of Amazon review searches. *!Viva el Melon Pelon!* (Can you do The Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age, or Portishead? 😬)
Anthony, I need more vinyl collection videos. Also maybe an update of your gear?
