'search and destroy' / 'gimme danger' >>>>>>> 'down on the street' / 'loose'
penetration' / 'raw power' = 'tv eye' / 'dirt'
'death trip' > 'fun house'
funhouse also has '1970', but raw power still wins on a countback

'1969' / 'i wanna be your dog' (possibly better than RP and a waaay better opening than FH)
'no fun' / 'ann' (holds its own, 'ann' being of particular note...)
'little doll' (maybe not as powerful and crazy as the other two albums outro's, but its real catchy

"Raw power isnt even that hot an album"NO
"Bowies production is awful too."
NO
"Iggy's mix of Raw Power makes it close"
"I feel that the Stooges didn't age well"
"it's intial production (by Bowie) rendered it so tinny and comapritively lifeless"
"Mildly catchy, mildly interesting, mildly annoying, too."
"I prefer the Iggy mix of Raw Power"
"raw power is the critic's choice and funhouse is for those who hate critics"
"they never made a great album as all of their efforts havesomething that fuck it up"
"(we're talking about the iggy mix, accept no substitutes here.)"
"S/T since it was produced by Cale and had neither noise norrock but instead attitude"
"contains one unlistenable song in "L.A. Blues."
"In my experience, I've converted more of theunconverted via Raw Power than Funhouse (current score: 3 to 0,) and that kind of populist appeal probably counts for something"
"RAW POWER still kicks a mighty big ass, but you've got to admit that there are somecomparitively weak tracks there"
"the debut is horribly pale and weak incomparison"
"Rethink: I s'pose the true snobs' answer would be "the unreleased one."
"arguin about these records is pointless.....they are all beautiful untouchable artworks.....each can be appreciated for hellish attitude...even all the unreleased stuff.....these guys were comin apart at the seams and who has come close to POP/WILLIAMSON/ASHETON?????? FUCKEN NOBODY!!!!"
Hahahahaha! OTM!

The people in this thread who were seriously arguing in favor of Iggy's played-through-a-blown-out-answering-machine wannabe-Guitar-Wolf mix of Raw Power were collectively out of their fucking minds.

taking sides: the weirdness vs ready to die

fun house vs exile on main street
― reggie (qualmsley), Wednesday, 6 September 2017 14:55 (six years ago) link
Ready to Die is actually a lot better than The Weirdness, and only partly because The Weirdness is the worst album Iggy's ever done. RtD stands on its own merits.

imo: raw power: bowie vs iggy mixes

Fun House
I like The Weirdness.

Fun House is one of the greatest records of all time regardless of genre. Raw Power is pretty good.

Pretty much. Raw Power has some good songs destroyed by inexplicable production choices.

Funhouse is probably “better,” but I’m less likely to throw it on.

side 2 of Raw Power kinda drags for me but side 1 is one of the best side 1s ever
― Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 2 May 2021 16:57 (three years ago) link
pomenitul otm. I don't dislike Raw Power, but it sounded and felt so self-conscious after Fun House, like they were trying to live up to or create or re-create some nebulous myth(s) about themselves...and with a guitarist who was uninterested in taking risks. And wrt the awful production, the drums on Fun House are popping all over the place, the source of that record's agitation; on Raw Power they're buried under a heavy blanket.

it is absolutely perfect that don gallucci played keyboards on the kingsmen's version of "louie louie" and went on to record the first american prog album (touch) before producing this

I love both, though not sure either is the best Stooges record tbh

Tonight I'm listening to the disc from the Fun House box that has 14 takes of "TV Eye" in a row. Because fuck my downstairs neighbors.
