Can someone puh-leeze explain to me the appeal of the band The White Stripes?

I liked “Seven Nation Army.”  It had a great base line, a catchy beat, and an annoying manner of getting stuck in my head.  But lately, my wi-fi connection from computer to Soundbridge has been wonky, so instead of RadioParadise, I’ve listened to Adelphia’s “Adult Alternative” channel.  They play a couple tracks from “Get Behind Me Satan,” and they just plain suck.

If any of you out there like this album, please explain it to me.  Its appeal eludes me.
