There's a lot more to The White Stripes than singing in tune. :-) Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin said it pretty well on his "60 Minutes" interview. He said that enthusiasm counted for a lot, more than in his singing, which was decidedly off in the clips of him playing live that ran during the interview.

The Stripes have a whole package, from their brother/sister husband/wife pairing, to the goth vibe, to the artsy videos. Somehow they hit on something that people like, even if it's out of tune.
