They may have the weirdest "Cool Deep Cuts" to "Oddly Annoying Hit Songs" ratio of any 21st century band.

Right up there with Jethro Tull or REM back in the 20th

But I will always love them for this Garage Rock Masterpiece

I just love the fact that it's two incredible talented music nerds making incredible music, often, at least in the case of Dan Auerbach, on instruments most professionals would turn their noses up at if they had to play.

They have a real love for traditional blues and roots music and I think it shines through their work, especially this cut "Good Babylon".

Was lucky enough to go to one of our local record shops where they had a release party for "Dropout Boogie" where they signed albums and played a great little set for, what was for them, a small crowd.
