What artists sound like The White Stripes?

Bob Dylan: “Highway 61 Revisited” (94% feel-match); Jack White: “What's The Rumpus?” (94% feel-match); PJ Harvey: “The Words That Maketh Murder” (94% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the The White Stripes centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is The White Stripes overall?
Across 40 measured songs, The White Stripes averages 55/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
