The White Stripes - You Don't Know What Love Is

Whereas previous single Icky Thump was, well, a bit mental (keyboards that sounded like bagpipes, screamy vocals about prostitutes and all), Jack and Meg's follow up single is a lot more conventional.

Perfectly recreating a '70s soft rock atmosphere, and then layering the Stripes' trademark audio chaos all over it, this employs a soaring chorus to superb effect - one that you'll be singing along to for weeks. The usual White chemistry works its magic, with Meg bashing seven shades out of her drum kit and Jack indulging in some strangely high-pitched guitar solos.

It may not be as haunting as A Martyr For My Love To You or as infectious as Rag And Bone, but it's yet another reason to love everyone's favourite colour co-ordinated fake brother/sister duo.
