They definitely deserve a spot in 2024! They were the main driving force behind the garage rock revival and have a sound that was different than most rock bands of the time. This sound influence many othe bands such as The Yeahs Yeah Yeahs , The Black Keys, etc. It's unfortunately they've broken up, but their legend will live on. Jack White has an amazing solo record out with another on the way and has been involved with The The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather who are both amazing bands. The White Stripes will deserve this induction!

Not even a huge fan but yeah obviously first ballot hall of famers I don't think there is any way they don't get in. So influential, so unique, and so popular I would bet my life that they get in.

The White Stripes’ self-titled album will turn twenty in June, which pretty much marked the revival of Garage Rock.

They'll get in no problem. Jack White has the respect.

The only song I knew from them was Seven Nation Army, if they are HOF's, I probably would've heard of more songs from them.

Absolutely a shoe in for next year! First year eligible induction no doubt!

The Rock Hall likes guys like Jack White. They want to be known for their 'hipness". Beck wont be far behind. I like Jack & Meg well enough, The White Stripes are a good band, I'd have a number of others feted before this band personsally, starting with Jethro Tull, but I don't have a real vote..

One hit wonder, except for that one song, have nothing else that is popular or influential

Should not be inducted, especially worthy acts like Kansas, Meat Loaf are still being snubbed with way more selling and popularity

If you are learning guitar, you can learn a White Stripe song very quickly. Their stuff is basic.

Jack White is crap live where you barely understand what the hell he's singing about (not like the lyrics make much sense anyway).
