I think its great personally.

Listen to the Datsuns if ya wanna hear great riffs and squealing solos (MF From Hell, In Love)

Listen to the White Stripes for primitive roots bluesy rock (Hotel Yorba, Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground)

Listen to the Strokes for more laid-back 70's rock with surprisingly good guitar solos(Hard To Explain, New York City Cops)

Listen to the Hives when your drunk, its the way its intended (Supply & Demand, Main Offender)
