I think The Strokes are a breath of fresh air in modern rock radio. It's refreshing to hear something that's not pop-punk, or rap-metal, or post-grunge, or *shudder* ....emo.
They may not be the most original band out there, but they put 99% of the stuff that gets major airtime to shame. I think it'll be interesting to see how they mature, and if future albums display a little more originality. Keep in mind, these guys are still really young.
