White to focus on new band

London: Rocker Jack White has confirmed that he is taking a break from The White Stripes to focus all his energy on a new band called The Raconteurs.

According to contactmusic.com, White has postponed all future recordings with his band mate and ex-wife Meg White despite saying that there will be a new album out soon. White says his new four-piece band is no longer a side project.

He says: "A lot of people have this assumption that this is a side project or whatever, and the only way to solve that is to go out and play. The only way to show you are a band is to be a band, and that's what we are doing.

"Of course, there is going to be more White Stripes records, more Greenhornes records, more Brendan Benson records, but for right now, it's time for The Raconteurs."

I've discovered this song because some people claimed it as their favorite cover song in another thread on here. I've always adored this song but also always disliked the White Stripes.
Now I'm totally hooked with Jack's voice on this song and his rendition of it.
So.... I'm asking you to name me a few White Stripes songs that can keep up with this.

ah yes its one of my absolute favorites

Covers?
Lovesick
Isis
Rated X
Ashtray Heart

Generally great WS:
Black Jack Davey
Handsprings
Though I hear You Calling
Ball and a Biscuit which they also performed live with Bob Dylan
Jack's stuff on the Cold Mountain Soundtrack is lovely as is his duet with Loretta on Portland

I could go on and on
