Seven Nation Army



We did a guess the intro music quiz at work. Lad wrote down "Salvation Army" :lol:

That's where the title comes from. As a boy Jack White mispronounced salvation army as seven nation army

Aye it's good.

I prefer this though


It's also pretty simple but beautifully effective

Yes another classic. They done the simple things so well, better than most. That's the genius of that band.
 
Not even their best song.

This is true.
But it doesn't have to be their best to be one of the GOAT.
As far back as you wanna go songwriting teams like Lieber and Stoller or Holland Dozier Holland, ever Stock Aitken Waterman would've killed for a tune likr Seven Nation Army. It's a truly global smash. The fact it became a football chant sung the world over is testament to its simplicity and its catchiness.
A real modern classic. One of the all time greats.
Stands up against any song from any era.
Whilst I don't think Seven Nation Army is the best White Stripes song, as a comparison , She Loves You is nowhere near the best Beatles song but its their biggest and one of the most raw and simple ones and stands up against any song from any era.

Still not their best song.
