no preference?

I personally prefer the white stripes, and his solo stuff. Jack White is, was, and always will be one of my favourite musicians. I really love the trashy-garage-riffy bluesy-punky rock (That's also quite hard to define) he produces. My parents don't...

how old is your dad?

They're both around 40. They say there isn't particularly any rhythm or beat going on, it's just noise

I would never say that any music is 'just noise' -- the subway makes plain old noise, you know

but as far as most of the white stripes stuff goes I would agree with them.... I think of it as kinks + zeppelin - groove = white stripes, though there are a few exceptions.... being only a bit older than me I can get where your folks are coming from, they lived through the whole rave thing just like I did, came up on post punk bands with a driving, danceable beat too... there was a lot more of a dance culture all the time when I was a kid then there is now, at least in the states I mean, that always ran parallel to heavy music, and punk rock here was about flailing around and 'dancing' whereas now kids justs tand around the band going "oh, I think he missed a note there" like it even matters in hardcore punk

most American music forms are actually dance music, we just forgot the steps that went with them

The greatest song he has ever produced IMO is Carolina Drama... followed by his duo with Rolling Stones for "Loving Cup".

Otherwise Im not a huge fan. His stuff is usually really boring for a bass player to play and nearly every band and group I've jammed with wants to play one of his songs. I always joke, "Oh good, perfect timing. I needed to use the bathroom"

I dont remember where I heard it, but recently I heard a funny joke when someone was talking about Seven Nation Army. They said, "The song is great because it's so easy. It's simple, even the White Stripes can play it".
