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

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.

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.

(I also love Williamson’s gtr playing, as a matter of personal taste.)

side 2 of Raw Power kinda drags for me but side 1 is one of the best side 1s ever

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.
