Louder Sound included the four-piece group in its ranking, which featured some of the most influential all-star bands in rock history. The Raconteurs joined supergroup legends Cream, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Temple of the Dog, Velvet Revolver and Asia, which secured the top five spots on the list.
Formed in 2005, the quartet, composed of White from the Grammy-winning band The White Stripes and Brendan Benson from the indie rock band The Mood Elevator, was rounded out by The Greenhornes' Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler.

"The only way to defeat that is to play live in front of everyone," he said in a 2006 interview as cited by CBS News. "I think we're seeing that wherever we go playing live, we're getting a fair chance. The more you keep pushing and keep going with it, the less and less people think side project, because side project usually means some flippant thing — you're not even paying too much attention to it."
It even received a major nomination at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album.
With the continued success of the quartet, White kept the momentum going by embarking on an extensive touring schedule, performing at major festivals around the world.
In 2008, they released their sophomore album, Consolers of the Lonely. It was a major success despite The Raconteurs not having given any "interviews or advertisements for this record" before the official release.
Unfortunately, after their extensive tour in celebration of their second album, The Raconteurs went on hiatus in 2009, with the members focusing on their separate ventures, musical projects and family commitments.
Meanwhile, Lawrence and Keeler returned to The Greenhornes and The Dead Weather.
The Raconteurs have yet to announce new music or touring plans following Help Us Stranger.
