That famous guitar rift at the beginning of this 2003 song was the first part written by Jack White in 2002. The rest of the song flowed pretty easily after that. Jack plays both traditional and slide guitar on this song, as well as providing vocals. Meg White's drum beat keeps time.

But the song is more than that. It's an anthem at sporting events. It's a rallying cry for political rallies. It was a catalyst for a growing garage band movement, based on how incredibly sparse the song actually is - able to be played by a band of 2 or 3 people.

Also, can we talk about how happy Meg looks on the drums?

Ever since kids with guitars first discovered that the family garage had use beyond holding the old man’s sedan, the racket that has so often emanated from them is considered the epitome of primitiveness. Merely deeming a band’s sound “garage rock” effectively chains it to a state of perpetual primordiality, welcome or otherwise. But over the decades, garage rock has become much more than blundering stabs at Buddy Holly, the Shadows of Knight and the Ventures. Each consecutive pop culture trend — psychedelia, glam, punk, even disco — has been at one time or another brought into the mix, making garage rock of the 21st century a very complex beast, indeed. Purists will contend that the true nature of garage rock has been diluted, that artistic tunnel vision is the only assurance that the genre will never congest and bloat just like the over-produced hits it was originally opposing. Considering the multitude of back-to-basics ’60s rockers who enlisted in the arena-ready brigade of the ’70s, these purists may be right, and garage rock now exists as a marketing ploy to help the young forget the wasted rap-metal years. It is fitting, then, that the act heralded as kingpin in the new millennium’s neo-garage movement has gone out of its way to expand and flatly contradict the very ideals on which the scene was built. As a result, the White Stripes are the best modern garage band around, without really being a garage band at all. Rock is dead, long live rock.

In 1997, a pasty-faced upholsterer from Detroit named John Gillis recruited his unobtrusive ex-wife Megan White as the drummer for a highly conceptualized yet raw-as-sin guitar-drums duo, and created the White Stripes. Gillis became Jack White, stirred up some old-fashioned titillation by claiming his bandmate to be his sister-lover (who knew there was such a market for hillbilly lust?) and proceeded to paint everything the twosome touched with a peppermint-candy red-and-white palette. Musically speaking, the Stripes are more vibrant than their color scheme will have you believe. Eschewing the necrophilic new wave appeal of the Strokes and the embryonic-Stones fascination of the Hives (just to namedrop two other highly publicized trend- riders), Jack has sought musical salvation elsewhere. Building on the groundwork of Delta blues, he adds layer upon layer of less archaic influences: Dylan, for his ruffled genius quality; Iggy, for his appreciation of the beauty in abrasion; Marc Bolan, for his flashy pop precision; Led Zeppelin, for both their crunch and goo. With Meg’s minimalist Moe Tucker-ish timekeeping as a cherry on top — a sometimes sloppy, thudding cherry, but a cherry nonetheless — the Stripes’ melodic routine is a tasty treat.

That said, The White Stripes is nervous, hyperactive, artless and enticing, with only occasional reassuring glimpses of the depth within. Co-produced by White and fellow Detroit musician Jack Diamond, most of the 17 songs are straightforward blasts of distorto-blues that waver between Led Zep-inspired theatrics (“Suzy Lee,” “Screwdriver”) and punked-up thrashing (“The Big Three Killed My Baby,” “When I Hear My Name”). Jack’s womanly shriek and roughly amped playing work best in the powerful “Jimmy the Exploder” and “Cannon,” where the guitar can’t be touched ‘cuz it’s on fire! On the other hand, the insignificant “Little People,” “Slicker Drips” and “Wasting My Time” (which says it all in the title) go off like a sparkler — no heat. Only “Astro” and “Broken Bricks” adhere to a general garage-rock sound, but there’s a wink in every nonsense lyric and trouble-free riff. More time is allotted to unpredictable tributes to Jack’s musical forbearers like the uncredited lift from “John the Revelator” by Son House (the album’s dedicatee) at the end of “Cannon,” and a sizzling rendition of Robert Johnson’s “Stop Breaking Down,” in which Meg’s monosyllabic proto-punk stomp drives it to the crossroads and back again. The quirks truly come out in “One More Cup of Coffee” — which has Dylan redone as mournful cabaret — and the antiqued Cab Calloway sway of “St. James Infirmary.” Signs of a slightly more subtle future reside in “Sugar Never Tasted So Good” (an acoustic/tambourine folk ditty) and “Do,” which highlights Jack’s finesse as a guitarist and songwriter. Both songs add passion to the album’s monotonous excitability and help pace its bash ‘n’ crash momentum.

From such humble beginnings, greatness is achieved. The difference between the debut and De Stijl can be heard immediately in the bouncy power-pop of the first cut, “You’re Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl).” With its Merseybeat charm and catchy chorus, the tune points not to a loss of edge but to an acceptance of variation. The punk-blues rave-ups are still accounted for — the whoopin’ and a-hollerin’ in “Let’s Build a Home” and the sheer weight of “Jumble, Jumble” make certain of that — but De Stijl (named after an Dutch architectural-art movement — how’s that for an abrupt cultural leap?) is truly all about “the style.” Jack’s Jimmy Page-isms have blossomed, making “Hello Operator,” with its slick harmonica and effeminate vocals, and the traditional-sounding “Little Bird” much more than rote posturing. Son House (“Death Letter”) gets cranked and Blind Willie McTell (“Your Southern Can Is Mine”) receives a rustic rehash and a dedication, but the album is both closer to the blues and further away. “Sister Do You Know My Name” and “A Boy’s Best Friend” are wobbly ballads that owe as much to the Grand Ole Opry and hootenannies as they do to the Mississippi Delta, and “I’m Bound to Pack It Up,” a humbling cello-enhanced lament, recalls the softer side of Donovan or T. Rex (or Kansas, if you want to go down that road). With only minor flaws in Jack’s production — the melodramatic “Truth Doesn’t Make a Noise” is just plain irritating — De Stijl rightfully made the White Stripes real contenders.

That elevation was validated with White Blood Cells, a breakthrough release — and their worst album so far. Bolstered by 106 seconds of manic go-go punk called “Fell in Love With a Girl,” a song which became a hit single, the album’s success would imply that the Stripes had outdone themselves, that they achieved something even more playful and ear-catching than De Stijl. Not true. Despite a fruitful dedication to Loretta Lynn (Jack has since produced an album for her) and recorded in Memphis, and despite the stripped-down arrangements (no guitar solos) and the more contemporary song structures (no blues covers), too much of the album (“Expecting,” “Aluminum,” “I Can’t Wait,” “I Can Learn”) wallows in an odd, crusty hard-rock haze. Things fare much better when the duo is at its flightiest: “Hotel Yorba” sounds like Country Joe fronting the Violent Femmes, “We’re Going to Be Friends” is tearful and tender without a trace of irony, and the folky “The Same Boy You’ve Always Known” still finds time to be raucous. Meanwhile, “Dead Leaves
