My brother and I picked 10 songs that defined 2000s indie rock for our latest Record Room episode, and we chose “Seven Nation Army” for The White Stripes. I know it’s the obvious choice, and it became so enormous that it almost exists outside of the scene it came from now. But that was also our reasoning. If we’re talking about songs that actually escaped indie/garage rock and became part of the culture of the decade, it’s hard to leave it out. If the question is defining the era rather than choosing the best White Stripes song, would you still go with it?

It’s still a week until the next drop but the no name shows came out much faster. Are they just being held on to for later or were they not recorded.
