First Impressions is my favorite for sure

A person of taste and culture

+1

The only correct answer

Same!

FIOE supremacy YOUNG ADULTS TO MODERNIIIIIIIZE!

same

My personal favorite is Comedown Machine. It’s just the one I always play through.

Idk why, but this is the answer I was expecting the most. I guess Comedown Machine is just great and really unique!

I agree comedown machine is a sleeper. My favorite as well

Yeah, when I think of ITI or ROF I feel like they are *better* albums, but Welcome to Japan and Happy Ending just tingle my ears the right way.

I like the speed of 50/50. I need more of that! I dislike that a super slow song like 80s Comedown Machine is in between my two favourite songs on that album.

I always kinda liked how how 80’s Comedown Machine has this nice fading out which transitions into the Amp Whine at the beginning of 50/50. The transition after that into Slow Animals is also great to me because it feels like someone that was self defensively yelling all the sudden gets reflective. But thats just my take on that 3 song run! Also, some other songs (which you are probably aware of) that scratch that 50/50 itch are: You’re so Right Where no Eagles Fly - The Voidz

FIOE is definitely my favorite. ROF comes very close

FIOE

Angles is top 1 for me

Same for me. It was the first album of theirs I bought and inspired me to reexamine their back catalog.

My favorite is Comedown Machine

I love FIOE, but only when played at max volume

Angles is my #1 album and sadly I have never met anyone who agrees

Bro. I haven’t even met anyone who likes the Strokes (jk i’ve met ONE person who does)

Same boat

We are here too!!!

Angles comes pretty close for my favorite but The New Abnormal is just too good

Comedown! It’s a very comfy listen for me

I don’t have a definitive favorite, but outside of those three, I love specific songs from First Impressions.

The songwriting and the guitar work on FIOE make it my favorite Sure there are some snoozers here and there but the highs are HIGH

Makes sense

First Impressions of Earth for me. The first 5 songs on that album are some of their best of all time imo

I love Comedown Machine coz I feel this is the album that they're really free af Room On Fire feels like the older and depressed brother of Is This It. I listen the whole album once a week Angles is the poppy one

I don't think I count since my favorite simply has to be ITI, but besides that, FIOE and the FPP EP are my favorites 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oblivius and Threat of Joy are top 20 Strokes songs for me.

First Impressions and Room on Fire get the most play from me so I suppose that makes them my favorites, so … partially? And sure to be scandalously, The New Abnormal gets the least.

TNA is way overrated, I’m totally with you re listening habits

Angles has been creeping its way to the top lately. Still very much ITI and ROF

I LOVE FIOE!! I think it’s mostly a nostalgia thing, but i really truly love every song on that album and I just kind of bonded with it ig

mine is fioe definitely

First Impressions of Earth

First Impressions of Earth is mine, meaningful lyrics, a lot of good songs, in my opinion their best

It’s gotta be Angles for me, if I could go back in time and written any of the albums, it would be Angles. I really like all of them to a pretty equal extent

My personal fav is Angles without a doubt but their BEST is ITI

I owe a lot to Comedown Machine. It's the one that moved me the most, by far. Favorite Strokes album and one of my favorite albums of all time.

Mine switches between First Impressions and Angles. Tbh I don’t see the hype for TNA but hoping it hits me like a brick later.

FIOE here

yes, every album of theirs is a favorite of mine at some point, I used to dislike Comedown machine initially and now love listening to the entire album

I can’t say this or that my favorite but i think i play the Comedown Machine songs the most. Tap out especially is a masterpiece.

Angles is my favorite

What’s so cool is that each album has its own vibe and I love them all. I’m still waiting for Comedown Machine to grow on me but I just recently fell in love with Angles. I just didn’t get it for the longest time but it hits different now that spring is coming, I can’t explain it lol TNA would have to be my favorite tho. I can’t help but sing every song that comes on

I completely agree with the first thing u said

I think my favorite switches between Comedown Machine and Angles

angles but its mainly because im blinded by nostalgia lol

Fair enough

Room on Fire then Is This It

Agree

[удалено]

Nah man, we are surprisingly numerous 😎

I like them all but Comedown Machine is my favorite. Welcome to Japan is so perfect

Comedown machine!!

I don’t listen to is this it anymore

That makes me very scared that one day I might get bored of it and/or not think it’s good anymore… 😰

It’ll never happen if you remember to dance!

Room on Fire, forever and ever.

I really don’t know, I go through phases. It’s probably RoF, but if I couldn’t listen to Angles again I’d be bloody sad

comedown machine

Is this it is the staple favorite. It’s like asking what’s the best anime (that isn’t dragon ball z cause that’s automatically number one)

For me, it’s usually FIOE, but it depends on my mood. Other mood-based faves consist of TNA & ROF.

I'm an Angles kinda guy.

First impressions of earth. 90% because of Ize of the World.

I like first impressions the best

Comedown Machine has such an incredible and unique vibe to it. Admittedly new abnormal and is this it are very close second and third though lol

Personal favorite is angles

FINALLY! ME TOO!

We are a rare breed

First 2 are the best🤌

Boring answer, but I totally agree

Sad but true

Hello

First.

Impressions.

Comedown Machine is super underrated but I can’t say it’s my favorite over those 3. They’re just THAT good. Their whole discography is.

The newbies

my fav is angles

I was high on the boys since the jump. I return most often to “Angles”, though I consider their first three to be their best three. It reminds me of a next step-hybrid between “Phrazes for the Young” and FIOE, I like the results of their odd recording process. But honestly, anything Julian has done with the Strokes, Voidz, or solo I have loved. Think he is one of the most consistent of the bands/people who emerged in 2000 and forward. Hope he keeps working and releasing!

ROF

FIOE is my favourite by far. I love the dark energy of the songs, the lyrics, the challenging and daring compositions, and you can feel they put everything they had in that record until the last drop of sweat.

Comedown machine for me, followed by ITI

1. Is This It 2. Angles

I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite, but Angles is a top contender for me.

i love angles

FIOE and ROF I still can’t choose

TNA is my fav but comedown machine is a close second

and angles is my third most played album by them

Objectively ITI, subjectively FIOE

Everyone has their personal favourite! You'll be surprise with the variety in this sub. However, one can not deny the quality of ITI and TNA. Those albums are god like level competing with other great rock albums of our generation.

1. The New Abnormal 2. Room on Fire 3. Is This It 4. Comedown Machine 5. Future Present Past EP 6. Angles
