White Stripes

White Stripes, “White Stripes” (Sympathy for the Record Industry, 1999)
Their first, from when they thought they were just another clangy underground rock act, but with a really distinctive sound (chaotic minimalist punk filtered through electric Delta blues). They expanded songwriting-wise later, but nothing they did afterward can touch this stuff for sheer manic attack and auto-destruct cool.
Try 8, 9, 10, 12.
