I don't know enough White Stripe songs to have a top 5, but i really like the remake they did of "Walking With a Ghost".

Really? I love the WS, and the original song, but this cover seemed really disappointing to me.

[El Diablo]

All,

The Air Near My Fingers
You're Pretty Good Looking (For A Girl)
Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)
The Denial Twist
I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet)

I think those five. I considered replacing one with either of these two:

Seven Nation Army
In The Cold Cold Night

Lots of other good ones mentioned in the thread. I think my favorite not listed so far is Take, Take, Take.

Disappointing that while the White Stripes have played a couple of the best shows I've ever seen, I've also seen them give just terrible live performances.

El D,

I have only seen them once and it was one of the worst shows I've ever attended. I have heard some great live material from them though, so I chalked it up to the venue's acoustics and setting not being the proper atmosphere for such sound.

1. You're Pretty Good Looking
2. Blue Orchid
3. Fell In Love With a Girl
4. Icky Thump
5. Lord, Send Me An Angel

It was the venue, or just a very off night for them (probably venue, bad acoustics kill a show). I saw them in a small'ish theater with good sound, and the only show that I've seen that was better than the white stripes was radiohead. I don't go to concerts every month or anything like that, but I've seen a LOT of good shows. Jack White is sick on the guitar.

El D,
Putting In the Cold Cold Night on your list eliminates you from being qualified to respond here. That is all.

[Kramer.]

1. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
2. Seven-Nation Army
3. I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself
4. Icky Thump
5. all others

[MyTurn2Raise]

last night, I overheard some undergrads talking about one of the dumbest songs they've ever heard-my doorbell by the White Stripes


I was so filled with rage that I'm amazed any walked out of the bar with their lives.

[KidLifeCrisis]

1-5. Seven Nation Army

because it's the only one I know.

[El Diablo]

Jiggy: FU, Meg rules. That's one of my favorite songs to see them do live.

Matt: I saw them put on the most uninspired, low-energy, and short show ever at the Greek Theater in Berkeley where I've seen a ton of bands (The Pixies, Beck, Flaming Lips among numerous others) who have all sounded phenomenal there. When the White Stripes come to play, they put on amazing shows. But they don't always show up.
