he Black Keys are awesome. Every song is good. They sound grungy and dirty and rough and scratchy in all the right ways. They also make pretty excellent music videos.

Brothers brought back blues rock into the main scene. They recorded in the famous Muscle Shoals studio. Watch the documentary on the awesome history of that place. Dan Carney and Dan Auerbach were able to create an amazing sound between two men is simply amazing. Danger Mouse produced the popular single "Tighten Up" and it has the greatest impact on the eardrums. 

Brothers is great. But you knew that already.
