Personally I get different things out of all three, but if I HAD to choose... Fun House it is.

Anyway, we jammed Raw Power at the COLLEGE PARTY last night.
Raw Power = pop!Funhouse = noise!
Both great! But I would never play Funhouse at a party

Raw Power is pretty great too, altho neither Bowie's nor Iggy's mix was completely satisfactory.
― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Sunday, 5 September 2004 02:40 (nineteen years ago) link
it would be a tightass pointscoring thing to say that iggy's raw power rules not because there's BASS but because you can hear the GLOCKENSPIEL...but really it's because of the BASS. grunge rock lives!!
i think fun house is better.

Funhouse would be absolutely fine to play at a party, what are you talking about?
if you wanna know why Raw Power is pretty crap, just listen to the 10x better outtakes from those sessions like "Gimme Some Skin" and "I Got A Right." Those two songs alone make Raw Power sound like the dogshit it is (sorry, but Bowie should be drawn + quartered for it). Not to mention "Scene of The Crime" and "Tight Pants" (which is a version of "Shake Appeal" that totally crushes the one on the album)

i don't know bowie's version, but iggy's mix is so f*%%@in' LOUD.
So I vote for Raw Power.

Funhouse is infinitely better, either way. After the first side of Raw Power that album has nothing going for it, and, as mentioned earlier, "I Got A Right" and "Gimme Some Skin" blow away pretty much anything on Raw Power.

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 (two 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

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.
