People tend to either hate or love Get Behind Me Satan. Naturally, it turned into a pretty long discussion, but in the end we managed to agree on the following list. Much like our Queens of the Stone Age countdown, the list was born out of a discussion amongst the Tone Deaf team. To celebrate the first “new, worldwide commercially released White Stripes song since 2008”, we’ve decided to have a look back at their discography and decide which albums we like best and which we… listen to least. The previously unheard White Stripes song dates all the way back to 2005.
