    If you voted for Dead Weather you need to check their discography. Pure talent. Great live act.
    I haven’t voted for them yet but only because there are some truly awful acts here. Despite how cool they are and then fact JW’s presence is more subdued, he’s still the main attraction and creative force.

    missed the first round. Amy Lee was an easy choice this round though.

    I admittedly checked them out because of his name, but by far I do not find him the main attraction after listening to them. and creative force? really? I thought they all wrote semi-equally in that band?

    I dunno, sounds like Jack White material to me.

    That’s what I think

    as a casual listener it sounds a lot like Jack White material with a different singer. I tend to think the sound is largely influenced by Jack.  Doesn’t make them bad, I just don’t see anything particularly different about them.  it’s probably like van halen with Hagar. It’s basically  the same thing for most people but I suppose to others it an entirely different band.

    Isn't it the same with Trent Reznor and his wife band. Still sounds like NIN but with a woman singing.

    Allison gets a ton of writing credits for DW.  At least for Horehound, she wrote or co-wrote every song if I recall.  I looked on Discogs but there are no writing credits on there.  Although even with the writing credits, you can certainly feel the heavy hand of JW on their music.

    on Dodge and Burn, Jack has a co-write on 8 of the 12 tracks, all being co writes. Only one being him and one other writer, 3 with two co writers, the rest is the whole band.

    Haven’t really gotten into the lyrics but that doesn’t surprise me.  She’s talented for sure and I doubt she would want to sing other peoples lyrics.  Musically though it’s similar. I guess I’m separating the words vs the overall  sound

    if you had the musical arrangement on a dead weather track, and had Jack write his own lyrics and  put it on his solo album I don’t think it would seem particularly out of place

    Musically for sure.  To me, I hear Icky Thump all over Horehound.
