I also fail to see how The Black Keys push the envelope at all, as Requiem says. Though perhaps it's harder for me to see that as someone who listens to literally 0 mainstream radio. So to me, they sound like a pretty straightforward band. A band I'd have a friend listen to who doesn't really like indie but wants to hear an "indie" band and not be completely weirded out or alienated.
