What is your favorite song by The Strokes? Mine would have to be "Someday." It's great because it has a really laid back quality to it and it has a sense of nostalgia. It's a very Strokesy song, but it's hard to explain (haha, get it?) why. Heres a video for it:

Also, if you aren't a fan of The Strokes, listen to the song and tell me what you think.

I Can't Win is their greatest song, if you ask me. It's filled with this emotion that doesn't typically fill Strokes songs.

Also, Hard To Explain is a close second.

Trying Your Luck is my favorite, and I think Is This It is their best album. I haven't given a proper listen to First Impressions of Earth, though...

first Impressions runs too long and isn't as good as the first two releases.

I think Is This It and Room On Fire were both excellent. I think First Impressions Of Earth was not as good because it deviated to much from their signature sound.

I didnt like Room On Fire. Don't get me wrong, its a solid album but It seems like "they've been their, we've seen that" kinda thing. Their was only a handful of good songs that I enjoyed. Earth... was just mediocre, by then everyone has gotten over The Strokes. They had the chance to be one of the best bands of the decade, I think they blew it by playing it safe.

I think First Impressions was way different. I mean they forced themselves away from the "simple 100%" idea and incorporated more looseness into their sound. Jules wasn't hiding behind the "make my voice sound like I recorded this in the 50's" sound. I'm really excited for what they do next. Also Julian drops his solo album ina little while.

The Strokes is one of the greatest bands of modern rock. You Only Live Once is my favourite song by them but I still like their first album the most.

On is this it- either is this it, last nite, the Modern Age, Someday, Soma, When it started, or Hard To Explain On Room on Fire - Reptilla, Automatic Stop, Meet me in the Bathroom, or the end has no end On First impressions of earth- You only live once, Razorblade, on the other side, electricityscape, 15 minutes, Ize of the world, or red light ... I've been waiting for this thread.
