I don't think Jack White is that awful. I think he gets flack because he's popular and it really is cool to hate on the popular things. In my opinion, there are a lot of bands that are a lot worse for rock. The Monkees, Nickelback, Evanescence, Five Finger Death Punch, Good Charlotte, I can go on and on. Now, I'm not going to go out on a limb and say Jack White is absolutely amazing, but there's no denying he has enough talent to deserve the recognition he gets. I think he even deserves a bit of extra credit, because unlike a lot of musicians, he's willing to take on new projects every few years. If he really didn't care about what he does, I don't think he'd be willing to do that.
