Query: It's the Song, not the Singer

It doesn't matter who the Strokes are. Rich kids? Just about every star winds up rich, and I don't think this discredits their music any more than the personal wealth of the Strokes' members does. The fact is that the Strokes' album IS one of the best rock albums released last year, and is hands-down the best MAINSTREAM rock album put out in a long time. The reason the Strokes will save rock is because their label will push them out from the deep crevices where other so-called "genuine" rock acts crawl to tan or burn under your capricious gaze (and honestly, some of these guys could use a tan). So to all those wearing rock t-shirts from unknown bands to "prove you were there and heard of them first", just admit that the music on Is This It is fantastic and you just don't like anything that plays on non-college radio. If you want a great album, click and buy the Strokes. If you want to pose about musical knowledge, go buy some vinyl and just shut up.
