More recently I have been listening to the Strokes and I could not believe what I have been missing out on. Are they popular in the U.S.?

ooh yeah you have been missing out. i love them a lot. they are popular in the usa, but they are really huge in europe and other countries. they are probably not liked as much in the usa because they were overhyped. they are one of those bands that people just either love or hate. they are accused of being a corporate band, which is really dumb because they really started on their own and formed their own group in the new york underground. julian casablancas, the lead vocalists writes hiw own music and orchestrates some classic rock ballads. the bottom line is, listen for what it is. glad you enjoy them!
their number one classic is probably last nite. you should know the lyrics to the song. their live shows are great, catch them if you can somehow.

GOD I LOVE THE STROKES!!!! they're more popular in europe, but not as much in the U.S. b/c the general population has bad taste in music.
