Patientman, I love this comment you wrote "W is the worst thing I've ever been addicted to

Actually, I stole that^^ from a song called "Run Right Back" by The Black Keys. If you like old-ish Rock and Roll (i.e. "Classic" rock/late 60's-70's), then you'll probably like them.
Most people have heard of their main street songs off of the last two albums (Lonely Boy, Howlin' For You, Gold On the Ceiling, Tighten Up), but if you stop there you are missing out!
Great lyrics, great sound. Kind of like an early Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, blues-ey type of sound, especially the stuff prior to their most recent album, El Camino (which is still very good, it's just more produced and radio friendly). The first few albums were recorded in the drummer's basement in Akron, OH.
Don't miss these songs: 1) The Lengths 2) I Got Mine 3) Lies 4) Just Got to Be 5) Things Ain't Like They Used to Be 6) Sinister Kid
That's a good mix of fast and slow songs they have, though most have a very recurring and noticeable theme that you'll likely appreciate. Listen to an entire album...each one is REALLY good and they definitely make an "album" instead of just a bunch of singles thrown together.
Overall: great sound + great lyrics = best band in a LONG time
But that's coming from a man who like his classic rock.
