This would be a very hard choice for me. I have been a long time fan of The White Stripes, But I have just really been getting into the Smashing Pumpkins in the last few months. They are both gret albums. I do have to say that the Whites single, "Icky Thump" beatsTarantula. Alhough alot of the Zeitgeist stuff outplays stuff in Icky Thump. Like Doomsday Clock, 7 shades of black, and Bring the light beat most of icky thump. What do you think?

    Icky Thump... zeitgeist was a bit of a let-down
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Icky Thump by a landslide.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    I'm a big fan of both bands but after listening to both quite a bit I'd have to go w/ Icky Thump...by far.

    The new Marilyn Manson album is probably my favorite though.

    Nothing on Zeitchristohmighty is fit to be an Icky Thump b-side. Maybe a c-side. I find Zeigtchistohmighty about as enjoyable as a C-Section.

    Little Cream Soda, alone, puts that album to shame.

    But that's just me.

    They're not even in the same league. Zeitgiest is crap. Icky is a phenominal album!

    Anyone who thinks that Meg can't play falls into one of two categories:

    A.) You don't play drums and don't really understand what makes a good drummer

    B.) You do play drums, think you know what you're talking about, suck really bad yourself and therefore your opinion of good drumming is out of whack


    Meg's drumming on Icky Thump is tasteful, serves the songs, and sounds good. Period.

    you've posted on this thread 3 or 4 times... you've made your point, but i want to bring to the attention of the others on the thread that you know fuck all about music or musical instruments... the song Icky Thump DOESNT HAVE BAGPIPES half way through it... its a small keyboard... and i should know... check location... bagpipes aren't shit.. they stir emotion and are a sign of our fight against oppression... as someone else said, come here and say there shit :)

    here endeth the lesson

    Cool... Everyone is mad... I think I made up my mind... I have to say Icky Thump is completely equal to Zeitgeist. I have completly leveled them out. 7 shades of black is better than little cream soda. Icky Thump is better than Tarantula. Bring the light is better than Conquest. Rag and bone is better than Doomsday clock.

    P.S. I`m posting this with my Nintendo DS so if anything looks messed up it`s not my fualt.
