Why Tommy in particular? I see no parallels here.

sounds nothing like Tommy, it's not conceptual, it doesn't last longer than a hour.

literally how?

This album has zero resemblance to Tommy, though.

it inaugurated the post-punk nu-indie rock revival

ok

now explain what Tommy has anything do to about it

no. it will be viewed as this gens marque moon by television.

My first thoughts, but I would think that the Strokes were more popular in 2002 than Television was in 1977. Especially considering how MTV was still a force to be considered during the post-punk revival era of the 00s.

What does this have to do with Tommy, or The Who?

On a side note, does anyone know what happened to them? I thought they were supposed to be the "saviors of Rock", along with White Stripes, Killers, Hive, Vines, etc? Instead the 2000s fell to either numetal, pop-punk, or post-grunge and rap?

All of their subsequent releases ranged from merely good to mediocre, they never recaptured what they achieved on this album.

Julian Casablancas left briefly in 2009 and cut a solo album. It was actually better than any subsequent Strokes albums. There's simpy not a market for a band like them anymore.

More like the literally who

garage rock revival bands more interesting than the Strokes:
The Libertines
The White Stripes
The Hives
The Vines
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Raveonettes
Arctic Monkeys
The Fratellis
The Kills

What am I forgetting?

The Sounds, Kaiser Chiefs, and Franz Ferdinand

yes
and yes

I'll give you the White Stripes, and maybe Arctic Monkeys

But Is This It is objectively the best garage rock revival album

>The Nouns
Terrible list

> choosing Arctic Monkeys over The Libertines
shiggy

Joke's on you, "yeah" is an expression and "kill" is a verb

Do The Strokes really add anything to that old New York sound?

If we look at rockabilly revival groups, nobody ever really listens to Stray Cats or Sha Na Na anymore because they didn't add anything valuable to the rockabilly formula, so they ultimately feel disposable. Will that be the fate of The Strokes? Unlike those groups, people still hold The Cramps in high regard because The Cramps took the rockabilly foundation and did something completely new with it.

This is better than your whole list.

Also, Strokes are better than all of them too.

I've never considered Jay Reatard garage rock revival.

garage punk ≠ garage rock revival

In fact, I take garage punk more seriously, and it kind of bothers me that you think of Reatard that trivially.

And to your second point, no. Your taste is wrong.

More like Jay Retard

Jay Reatard was good, but not better than most of that list.

He's dead.

lol

:(

No one has made something like Reptilia though, it’s pretty obvious their best songs will stand the test of time

>The Strokes
>this generation
