- “Seven Nation Army” and “Icky Thump” are some of the most popular White Stripes songs and the rock band’s extensive body of work includes six studio albums, four video albums, and two live albums.
- The White Stripes was formed in 1997 by a married couple (Jack and Meg White) but the band did not gain popularity until 2002, two years after the couple got divorced.
- The rock band was nominated for no fewer than 53 coveted awards out of which it won at least 19 before it eventually disbanded in February 2011 after going on a hiatus.
The White Stripes was an American rock band consisting of a former married couple, Jack White and Meg White. The couple formed the band in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. Although they got divorced in March 2000, they continued to work together upon Meg’s insistence till 2011.
While Jack was the songwriter who played the guitar, piano, and mandolin, his ex-wife was solely the drummer and vocalist. Even though the American band was formed in 1997, it wasn’t until 2002 that they began to attract fame. Thanks to their albums White Blood Cells and Elephant, The White Stripes were able to draw huge attention from the media to the band.
The end of their successful career as a rock band came in 2011 when they disbanded due to a long break they took in recording and performing. The White Stripes’ music genres included Garage Rock, Blues Rock, Alternative Rock, Punk Blues, and Indie Rock.
