I haven't bought much music over the last decade or so; I listen to podcast mostly these. Musically I've stuck with my old stuff - Led Zepellin, Heart, Teena Marie, Eminem, Rush, Van Halen/DLR, Mariah Carey, John Cougar, Hendrix, Alanis Morrisette, The Rolling Stones, Jay-Z, Amy Winehouse, Pat Benatar, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gangstarr, michael Jackson, etc. The most recent that I actually spent money on is Adele.

I think next up is The Black Keys for purchase. What should I buy? All of it?

Just Rock & Roll...getting it done without a lot of BS.

Black Keys are great.. given the bands you listed you will dig em.. They have a good bluesy rock sound, but with a modern twist.. ...heavy on distortion, catchy stick in your head stuff..

I'd say Rubber Factory is a good place to start. Fantastic album!

Their older stuff is very minimalistic, raw, dirty blues. I really like their first album, The Big Come Up. 2008's Attack and Release started with their modernization/ more refined/ produced sound, but it's still good. their latest, El Camino, is still good stuff. Definetely different and more production has gone into it, but still good IMO.

I think these give you a pretty good idea of their whole sound from beginning to end.
