no simpler way of putting it but the strokes' music basically changed my life... when im 70 ill think back to my younger years and the fucking great music i listened to.
New York was at its coolest point around when this came out! everyone was a lot more interesting. Now it's much different. Everyone's just a ipod/phone/whatever obsessed douchebag
if you like the strokes - go on facebook and search for 'The Species' - it is the fourth search result - 4 guys, one with red hair - hard to miss :D
i remember going to work late with both of my windows smashed out on either side of my front seat and it was pouring. i threw this cd in and it suddenly turned into a great time. the music, weather and the scenery fit together so well....its hard to explain.
i dont know why I have anything other than the Strokes on my ipod, in any situation I just always end up listening to them... they're just on a different level
@PaceIsTheTrick2 Yep, greatest album ever made in my opinion, I don't care if people say the Beatles had better albums, or Led Zepplin had great albums, They can't make this happen.
I've listened to their new album, it's great too of course, especially Taken For A Fool, but for me Room On Fire is still their greatest. And this song is, was and always will be my favorite. Am I talking way too much? Haha! I just love this song!!!

thumbs up if u went to a playlist of room on fire and went to the website to find the albumbs lyrics and sang em just to make it easir (yes they have a website)
i talk way too much too anyways for me the best non single and maybe the 2nd best srokes song over all (1st being the modern age or maybe reptilia) is "take it or leave it"
@bangxbangxbianca this song struck me like a ton of bricks as awesome the first time i heard it; do you when their next album is coming out? the latest i heard was this fall maybe?
yep thats right! next strokes album shall be amazing..hopefully. course i've heard some of their b sides. my favs r mercy mercy me and i'll try anything once :)
This is an awesome song.
