50 Most Important - White Blood Cells

Number 48 on this alphabetical list is The White Stripes' White Blood Cells. This is not my favorite band and this is not my favorite album of theirs. Personally I would have picked Elephant which I think is their most influential and was certainly their first major success getting down to number 6 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Plus to me what makes Elephant so important is that it contains the song "Seven Nation Army". With this song Jack White was able to prove that he could write a solid pop song, which revolved around the Stripes basic sound. Experimentation is fun and being on the edge is fun, but writing a great pop song that doesn't compromise your musical vision is what it's all about.
