Ooh, a fellow Chicagoan, 'bout damn time.
The only similarity between the Black Keys and the White Stripes (aside from the name dichotomy) is the lack of a bass. They have a completely different sound; much grittier and definitely more blues-based. They simultaneously embody this 60s rock sound that somehow doesn't sound in the least contrived.
Jack should've stuck to his roots; he's at his best when he's gettin' down Muddy style.
