The Strokes are one of the most essential guitar bands of the last 20 years. Their influence arguably extends to any rock band that started making music post-2001. The Strokes' debut turns 14 this month - an album that shook the Indie world to it's core.
Is This It quickly became a staple for garage-rock canon and The Strokes themselves matched the aesthetic of the record becoming unwashed sensations. Unapologetically cool at the beginning, they grew out from their fuzzy roots and became a completely different beast over time. From indie to hard rock and more recently landing somewhere in the realm of disco, The Strokes surely have made some dramatic changes.
Many would argue that over time they've developed poorly and are starting to slip so we're here to see if that's the case with our definitive list of The Strokes' releases ranked from worst to best.
