"You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)" by The White Stripes

The White Strips were an indie rock duo formed in 1997 in Detroit, comprised of the once husband and wife team of Jack and Meg White. The Whites were married from 1996 to 2000, but kept it together as their career started to take off.

The White Strips first hit the charts in 2003 when "Seven Nation Army" reached #76. The lo-fi garage rock sound created a buzz as gritty as their guitars, earning the song a Grammy. They'd achieve another Grammy in 2007, when their last song to hit the charts, "Icky Thump," peaked at #26.

Jack White moved on to other projects, including a solo career and a new group called The Raconteurs. White scored one minor hit so far as a solo artist, a duet with Alicia Keys called "Another Way To Die" from the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. The song stalled at #81 in 2008.

"You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)" is a near perfect track incorporating White's classic rock influences.
