Hello readers,
It comes as no surprise that Gibson.com would pick the Strokes on their 'Top 50 best American Rock Bands of All Time' list. They made #43, impressive (I would've put them down as #1 but I didn't make the list.)
See the whole list here
They included a nice little description too:
If the music biz had a machine to manufacture millennial boho NYC guitar hipsters, it would undoubtedly spit out The Strokes. Yet the quintet are definitely for real: Fab Moretti has played drums since he was five, Albert Hammond Jr.’s father was a songwriter of note, Nick Valensi can be a dazzling soloist. Their debut Is This It (2001) is the must-have album, but The Strokes’ new wave smarts and intricate guitar interplay still seduce – with the eclectic brew of 2011’s Angles hitting dizzy heights. – Michael Leonard
I couldn't agree more Michael.
