Fun House

My favorite part was when they introduced a saxophone and immediately used it for evil.

If listening to Motorhead was like driving a motorcycle down a highway, this is like riding a wild boar, among a herd of other riders on boars, with a skinny shirtless guy on the lead boar, screaming something incoherent and bouncing up and down. Leading us on to... oblivion. The oblivion of LA Blues. This style of music always feels like it's going so fast that it's going to end up falling apart. On this album it does fall apart on the final track. And when it does it's transcendental. What a ride.

Kind of exhausting to listen to

It's obvious from the first track that so many bands that followed them were influenced heavily by the Stooges. This album is raw and visceral. The feeling of this whole album is one of an amazing live show, where the power and emotion is front and center.

powerful sleaze ballads.

Fun album. After seeing that this record was released in 1970, I didn't expect it to have as much grit as it did. I welcome the grit. The music is heavy blues, garage, noisy, raw and energetic. Definitely one of the main predecessors of the punk movement in North America, and eventually in the UK as well. The incorporation of a saxophonist was unexpected, but the sound works really well. Vocally I am reminded of Jim Morrison, which is always a good thing. This album is provocative, and gets bonus points for being a cutting-edge, experimental album for the time that it was released. Turns out I really like The Stooges.

you must realize that this is coming to you straight from hell

I blasted this album in the Amazon rainforest and suddenly every single monkey in a 3 miles radius showed up and started dancing, screaming and peeing all over the place. I 100% recommend this album if you hate music or if you just want to feel like a punk chimp.

the #1 album on this list, PERIOD....

Brilliantly sleazy and dangerous sounding.

Another surprise, since I was not that impressed by Iggy Pop's solo work... But this?... This is spot on. Great guitar work and a totally wild vibe going on. OK, so the final track is just a bit too crazy, but the rest of the album is solid.

Absolutely primal rock and roll. So pure and raw that it feels legitimately dangerous. This album is like a punch to the gut right before the final uppercut of "Raw Power" completely knocks you out. The live in studio sound suits them perfectly.

Album 906 of 1089 The Stooges - Fun House (1970) Rating : 4.5 / 5 This is one I’ve been familiar with for a while, and I was happy to give it another spin. The Stooges are at their best here, with Iggy leading the way in raw, chaotic style. They represent their genre well, and I’m always glad to listen. It’s often praised as one of the most primal and energetic rock records ever made. Tracks like “Down on the Street” and “1970” come out swinging, and the title track itself feels like the band completely unhinged, in the best way. It’s not polished, but that’s the point. Fun House is one of those albums that captures lightning in a bottle, and while not for everyone, it’s easy to see why it’s a touchstone for punk and garage rock fans.

Hell yeah!! I can't believe this is 1970. Way ahead of its time. This is what this list is all about. 5 stars, easy.

This is heavy duty, man.

Not what I expected it to be. Very cool. Reminded me of early Pixies. I'm sure this influenced them.

Forgot how many great songs are on here. It would have been amazing to see them live during this time period.

Une performance absolument abracadabrantesque de la part de notre Iggy Pop international. L'album s'ouvre sur l'arrivée de l'artiste et de son assistante. Celle-ci dispose dès son entrée une boîte en plexiglas en plein milieu de la scène. Iggy Pop se concentre d'abord puis s'installe dans la boîte après une série de mouvements spectaculaires jusqu'à ne plus être visible. Son assistante part alors en coulisses et revient avec un stock d'épées tranchantes. Elle fait soudain glisser l'une d'entre elle dans la boîte, puis en insère une deuxième, une troisième et ainsi de suite jusqu'à dix. La boîte semble alors transpercée de tous les côtés si bien qu'on a peine à imaginer Iggy Pop vivant à l'intérieur. L'assistante commence alors à retirer les épées une par une et c'est bien ce bon Iggy Pop qui surgit soudain et se tient dans sa position signature sous une incroyable ovation.

Too long and too loose for me, just never really grabbed me. They were pioneers maybe

Too stuck in blues rock tropes that it doesn't have the knack for, and lacking the "raw power" of its successor. Not there yet Iggy

I don't think so. I would like my 36 mins and 26 secs back.

Holy shit this fucker rocks so hard and time has not diminished its raw power in any way. It's wild how much the band grew between this and their debut a year earlier, where they come off a bit like Doors wannabes. Not sure if they changed or just got more confident and assertive on how the recording was produced, but they nailed it. Also maybe the best sax in rock n roll. One of those records that denies attempts to listen at moderate volume. By the end of Down on the Street, I am usually down on the street myself, scraping my bare chest over broken glass and gettin' loose in the dirt.

I could probably listen to this on repeat for a decade or so.

Pure, unfiltered, free rock and roll. Wild and magnificent, like a tiger strolling through a forest, ready to sprint and pounce at any moment.

Fun House I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a Stooges album properly, but I thought this was excellent. It’s easy to take their reputation with a pinch of salt, but the raw, straightforward aggression is genuinely great. Their influence on punk and metal is obvious and well stated, but they are more compelling than that sometimes dubious legacy might suggest. Their garage rock’n’roll directness provides the backbone, but there is real groove to the rhythm section, with a relentless motorik-ness to the drumming and some brutally melodic bass playing, and Iggy is of course incredibly charismatic. And on the second side they throw in some discordant sax wailing, not dissimilar to the upcoming Hawkwind, giving a nice variation in tone, and adding a bit more dissonant chaos to it all. The sound/production is quite wonky, but it seems that was intentional, and it works brilliantly, the bleed and distortion only adding to the sense of manic energy. Song wise it's also excellent, it’s only 7 songs, but they’re all great, particularly the opening three tracks in Down on the Street, Loose and TV Eye and the closing cacophony of L.A. Blues. And in between the sludgy tempo and bass of Dirt is superb as are 1970 and Fun House. And you can hear all sorts in the mix, there’s a bit of John Densmore to some of the drumming, you can hear Black Sabbath and the Velvet Underground too, and you can see how many garage rock bands of the 2000s were influenced by this. There’s no reason for this not to be a 5. Often the progenitors of new styles of music don't quite hold up, but there’s a real thrill to this, the sound of a band striking out into a new, aggressive direction, for all the good and ill that birthed. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Playlist submission: Loose

Iggy has made some great albums and this is the best one. Aside from the caustic palette cleanser at close, all songs smash it. "1970" and "TV Eye" are my picks, but it's close. “Loose”’s dizzying opening drop is ecstatic, a thrilling way to introduce a riff. The saxophone’s entrance on “1970” continues to swap my eyeballs around. The cover’s sulphurous yellows and oranges set the stage: this pours out of a volcano. Almost exactly twenty years ago, 30 August 2005, I saw three quarters of this band (Mike Watt swapped in for Dave Alexander, who didn’t make it out of the first half of the ‘70s) with a friend; Andy texted me that afternoon - “it’s today!” We’d almost forgotten. Arrived in my suit, back row seated in the Hammersmith Apollo, dutiful not hyped. As soon as “Down On The Street” began the entire room stood as one and levitated for the rest of the set.

Another one I was wrong about - this is undoubtedly the best Stooges album, every track is a riot, marvelous guitar sounds and a twisted saxophone leading the charge in the back half. Fuck yeah!

Very meaningless lyrics, but very noisy songs, me likey

This is absolutely fire. Love it.

En rå, beskidt kraftudladning. Iggy og Håndlagerne spiller blues-rocket proto-punk så hele fundamentet gungre. Dejligt repetitativt og jazzet.

Proto Punk

Huh, back to back Stooges records. Had to check just now to see if Iggy Pop had died. Anyway, another amazing record for 1969. More cohesive than their debut, not quite as all round great as Raw Power. 4.5

My ears feel like they've been chased through a junkyard by a caffeinated bass and a shirtless Iggy Pop. 4.5/5.0: Excellent

enjoyed this way more than iggys solo work

Definitely one of my favourite albums. The energy in the performances is unmatched and Iggy never disappoints with all the howling and yelping.

A blast of raw energy fueled by a dark libido.

Iggy and the stooges kick ass. Strong music. Strong energy. Pretty much perfect.

In 1989, when I was 18, I was singing in a rock band with some mates. Not a good band, but that's not the point. I was studying how to be a front person by sitting up late at night watching Rage, the overnight music video show on Australian ABC television. And the video that caught my attention was Iggy Pop's 'Home'. An OK song, but not Iggy's greatest moment. But the video was the most compelling performance I had seen. It's mostly just black and white footage of Iggy being Iggy in front of the camera with a wind machine. And he is magic to watch. I thought "man, I'd feel like an idiot if I acted like that, but it's soooo great to watch". Now, I don't claim to be anything near Iggy, who should be on everyone's Top Ten Front People of All Time list, but he certainly did encourage me to go more full-on in my performance style. The Stooges really are one of those bands that are the blueprint for what real rock and roll should be; loud, dangerous and out of control. It straddles the clever/dumb dichotomy perfectly. It's all energy and sex and humour and violence and volume and you can dance to it. Side 1 of this album is full of simple but perfect songs, recorded with intensity and a dangerous edge, like it could all go wrong any second. God bless Don Galluci for not polishing all the edges off. It's a perfect side of rock and roll. Side 2 (1970 excepted) is... inessential. The title track and LA Blues are really just noise-vamps -- essential precedents for whole genres of music yet to come -- but not really great listening experiences. The Stooges really are foundational to much of the music to come, often imitated, rarely equaled. Just get loaded, play side 1 really loud, and smash shit up. _That's _ rocks and roll.

This is great. Raw, but the Stooges both rock and (surprisingly) groove hard, and Iggy is clearly having a ball. Sounds years ahead of its time, and I especially love the next level trolling from the band on the last track ‘L.A. Blues’.

Really good album. Standout songs: Loose Dirt LA Blues

Hard

That was one of the nastiest albums I've heard in a long time, and I really mean that in the best way possible. I wasn't totally in love with the title track, but other than that, this is easily a 5/5 album for substance and historical value

Its the quintessential crossover between Psych and Punk. Perfect.

The sound of pure organized chaos. With only 7 tracks, the album flies by, even though a couple of them go past 7 minutes. All the tracks are super memorable. It feels much more distorted and out of touch than their debut. It helps that the acid album cover looks like they're performing from the pits of hell. The first few are reminiscent of their debut, except a lot more aggressive and frantic. "TV Eye" really exemplifies what's so great about this album. The first half is catchy and fun, then we get into an avant-garde mix between the soothing melody and Iggy's belching. But then suddenly the song stops and we start it all over again... That's a common punk technique years before the Six Pistols did it! "Dirt" marks a gradual shift to something much stranger that really defines this album. It starts off slow, melodic, and bluesy. I absolutely adore Iggy's vocals, shifting between smoothness and roughness. The guitar, much like Iggy, sounds normal most of the time but has those moments where it bursts out personality. The mix between the guitar and vocals in the last few minutes is perfect. "1970" pushes us back to the aggressiveness from earlier. The bass is really spot on here. Then half way through we're introduced to the avant-garde saxophonist Steve Mackay, the only band member who got his shit together outside the studio. He just comes out of nowhere and you question if there was always a saxophonist. The mixing is absolutely incredible between the sax, Iggy's chaotic screaming, and the hardcore drumming. This is only an introduction to the strangeness of the final two tracks. "Fun House" is possibly the most impressive song in their catalogue. There's a seamless transition to our final track, as if it's an extended coda: "L.A. Blues" is a fun chaotic avant-garde jazz track that you can't divert your ears from. Nice heavy distortion. It feels simultaneously ordered and all over the place. The ending is satisfying. Out of the Stooges's 3 albums, this one deserves the perfect score. Unlike the other two, there are no weak tracks. It's the most creative and coherent (as ironic as that may appear). Unlike Raw Power, the production is done very well here, with everyone getting their shine.

Raw, garage, needs to be played loud, one of the "seminal albums" for punk. Lots of accolades for this album. There's not a lot I can add; it is all of the above. The producer, Don Gallucci, changed the recording to more of a live concert than a studio environment. Iggy's screaming/howling, garage guitar sound and driving rhthym section. The second-half songs add a saxophone which might annoy some people. I think it just adds to the chaos. It's funny; as albums end on my streaming service, the next song played is a similar sounding song. For this album, it went to Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression" and the album's second half guitar definitely has that feel. I wouldn't have placed that. Anyway, turn the volume up on this one and enjoy.

Woaahhh! These guys created one of the best punk songs I have ever heard just by having a live performance in the recording studio. Amazing. The ugly vocals and the messy guitars are used well, creating an energy that is like, you know, being in a FUN HOUSE. But it isn't punk... yet. Of course, this flavor of rock can be much more harsher. But I think this is the just the perfect harshness. Filthy, but not annoying.

Primal punk rock

I don't know what their debut album has in store, but I'm quite impressed at the contrast between this album and their next one, all in favor to "Funhouse". I can certainly see why so many critics *and* artists cite this as one of their favorite rock albums, and while it's not all that well-produced/-mixed, there's so much more raw power (plus a wandering sax!) than what they produced a couple of years later. I strongly suspect this is what Van Halen hoped for with "Diver Down", and while they came a bit close, this album blows it away by comparison. I know The Stooges are considered godfathers of punk, but it's a shame (to me) that punk didn't end up in the place this album occupies, with all the hooks and rhythms and song structure (and wandering sax) that make this album so much more entertaining and interesting--even down to the descending madness of the last two tracks--than what would enfold in the next decade. The Stooges definitely redeemed themselves to me with this album, although I can also see why this album fell flat in 1970.

An album that didn't sell well but was way ahead of its time and later became a cult classic? What a surprise. This album was crazy to me. It was like if blues decided to be raw and wild. You can definitely hear the Jim Morrison and Doors influence, so it made sense to hear that it was a Doors concert that pushed Iggy Pop to make music like this. It was gutteral and abrasive at times but overall I really loved it. I need more of this game-changing music on this site.

I don’t think the Stooges pictured themselves as making commuting music but it works pretty well.

I’ve heard some Stooges, but really nothing from this album. This could come out next week and sound fresh. The crunch on the guitars is amazing. Iggy sounds so sinister and cool. But it’s the drumming that really jumps out at me. This really stretches out and jams a lot more than I expected. Standout Track(s): TV Eye, Dirt, 1970,

Super fun and engaging listen, especially for its age

#111/1001. Lets hear it from the critics: "the worst album of the year” - Melody Maker. (The Stooges are) “so exquisitely horrible and down and out that they are the ultimate psychedelic rock band in 1970”. - Rolling Stone ”This group’s first album was nominated here as the worst record of 1969; the present one is merely lousy" - The American Record Guide "All I can hear is crude, repetitious, extremely dull material, no-talent instrumentalists and a pretentious, no-voice singer. The 10-minute ‘We Will Fall’, a constantly-repeated chant with some kind of mutterings by the lead singer (including several minutes of ‘goodbye’ at the end), is undoubtedly the worst rock track I have ever heard. In fact, I have little hesitation in nominating this as the worst album of the season."- The American Record Guide "The group has been practicing, because the instrumental playing is now a bit better than incom¬petent, but still there is not an original idea to be heard anywhere and so the tracks are uniformly monotonous." - The American Record Guide What else to add?

I see now why The Stooges were so influential. This album ramps up in a way that I didn't expect--the first few songs have the same feel of their debut album, but as the album progresses it also becomes more chaotic, jazzy and hypnotic. Especially when you compare this album (and The Stooges' 1969 album) to their contemporaries, it's very easy to see its importance in the music that followed it. They were psychedelic without being show-offy, they were heavy, they were as weird as it gets, but they still knew how to catch your ear with hooks and riffs that will stick in your head for days.

It's alright....nothing blows me away here. Crazy that they were the first punk band (*citation needed) yet this sounds pretty tame. Guess you had to be there...or at least see them live.

Ok

First listen Saved 4/7 Top track: Down on the Street

Cet album bien que très moyen musicalement, a permis de présenter une des apparitions les plus spectaculaires de l'histoire de la musique. Mais laissez moi vous remettre dans le contexte. Concert de Woodstock en 1972. Les Stooges s'appretent à présenter pour la première fois leur album Fun House, après le succès de leur album eponyme. Le show débute par un solo des musiciens des Stooges. Ce premier morceau résolument acoustique ne présente aucun chant, et pour cause, Iggy Pop n'est pas présent sur scène. Mais personne ne semble déçu, ni même déboussolé dans le public, et pour cause: tous ces fans ont tous écouté l'album précédent des Stooges. Soudain, le deuxième son démarre, les guitares débutent leur travail, quand tout à coup la voix d'Iggy Pop se fait discrètement entendre. C'est l'effervescence dans la salle. Tout le monde se met à chercher le grand Iggy: "Où peut il bien être cette fois?" - "J'ai beau scruter la scène je ne vois rien!" - "Il ne peut quand même pas être caché dans ce minuscule sac à dos?!". C'est alors que le tempo de la musique se ralentit, les lumières s'assombrissent. Le refrain va bientôt débuter. Tout d'un coup, les lumières se focalisent sur une petite malette posée au centre de la scène. Elle était la depuis le debut du show, adossé à un micro, mais personne ne l'avait remarquée. La malette commence à s'ouvrir de l'intérieur, et laisse entrevoir la chevelure blonde d'Iggy, Iggy sortit d'abord sa hanche toute désordonnée, avant de laisser le reste de son corps suivre dans des craquements terrifiants. Il s'extirpa juste à tant pour lancer le refrain, sous la folie la plus totale des spectateurs. Même si le reste du concert fut résolument moyen, les spectateurs en avaient eu pour leur argent avec cette prestation phenomenale de contortionnisme.

Honestly don’t have a whole lot for this one... it was pretty OK. Favorite tracks: “Loose” and “Dirt”

Can’t imagine choosing to listen to this

1/20 Nothing really stood out to me. Not really a fan of punk music

“yeah man can you shriek moan and cough into the mic on this one? yeah really shriek and cough like you mean it — it’s gonna be really punk man yeah just do it yeah.. what are we gonna be doing? what do you mean we're just gonna be playing random notes? yeah like whatever compels us really yeah"

Meh It was fine, I liked some of the proto punk themes and sounds. But honestly the whole album just made me feel like I'd rather be listening to the Doors

This is the second album by The Stooges. I didn't like Raw Power and I don't like this one. Not my type of music.

The songs, the riffs, the production, the rhythms, the energy, all rolling and slithering together. Incredible. Hated it when I was 13

Loved this. Proto punk

Kicking down the door and tossing you a beer. Easily 6 out of 5 stars.

Two Stooges albums back to back for me? I must have been a VERY good girl. I gave the self-titled album 5 stars yesterday. This one gets 6.

I love the feel of this album. I love the sound of this album. Is this album good? I don’t know. Some days I’m thinking that I love it, other days I think it might be bad. Maybe this album is really good but thinking about this album is really bad. That’s probably it. Goodnight.

What a treat for this morning! Probably quite close to 5 stars, we will see. Yeah,. this must be 5 stars for me, incredibly influential and massive work, containing no big hits or singles but who needs them anyway? Raw garage rock at it's best

Like watching someone insert a lit firecracker up their arse. Strange, chaotic, loud, intense, concerning for everyone involved, yet weirdly captivating. As someone who has only really listened to Iggy's solo work, this was not what I expected, but it ruled. Also, how the fuck did this come out in 1970?

Just amazing primal energy throughout this record. It seems not many albums sounded like this in 1970. I’ve seen this album performed live during their reunion in the mid 2000’s and it was incredible.

I'm glad there is so much from The Stooges/Iggy Pop on this list. I do feel like he was probably one of the most influential artists from the past 70 years or so. The things that he and his various bands did had such a huge impact on entire genres that followed. And he's like 80 years old, looks like a crooked old boot, and is still performing and giving it all he has. What a legend. This album, like the other early Stooges stuff, is raw, driving, and exciting. Some people hate Iggy Pop's voice on these early records, I get that but it fits the music so well. This record manages to be loose and really tight at the same time. You can just imagine this being played live and the amount of energy pouring out and to me, that's one of the marks of a great album. There aren't a lot of records where every song is a banger, this is one of them. LA Blues gets a pass because it's basically an extended outro for Fun House. 5/5

acho que eu uivei escutando esse aqui pqp pedrada absoluta saxofone do mal quebradeira num nível transcendental o professor dr. iggy pop e amigos realmente criaram um monstro nesse aqui pqp lindo

ou, fiquei surpreso hein. cruzão e visceral esse aqui. a produção é bem boa, parece que eles tão tocando na obra (bar dançante). além da guitarrada, entra UM SAX DO NADA QUEBRANDO TUDO, bem jazz punk que delicia, coisa boa demais!!!!!!!! pior que a segunda metade eh das melhores coisas que eu ouvi em tempos, hein. nao que a primeira seja ruim, mas a segunda eh um ABSURDO. barulheira boa. tô generoso e darei 5

Exquisite rock and roll. I had Raw Power on this list just two days ago. I like Raw Power but this one benefits from having such a powerful, gritty, sleazy production where Raw Power suffers from a poor original recording. I did give Raw Power four stars so obviously this deserves five. I’m going to bring this up for every repeat artist. It’s lazy writing if you can’t find albums from unrepresentative artists and just list multiple albums from the same artists. Here’s how you do it. If you like Funhouse by The Stooges, listen to more Stooges. There, just freed up a spot for Yo La Tengo who deserves to be on this list.

Timeless and great as always - still so funny to me that out of all the musicians from this era iggy pop is still rockin My fiancee's review "is he ok??"

Really very cool. Punky and angular and grunty as I expected. I did not expect the expansive, experimental expressive sections. There are a bunch of trance-like jammy sections. Kind of reminds me of fela kuti almost weirdly in parts.

What an album. Intense and dirty from start to finish, with grooves that never let up. I mean, those first three tunes alone. Damn

Epic, I think I actually prefer this to Raw Power? Just incredible this was made in 1970. What an iconoclast.

Toisella albumillaan detroitilainen retkue The Stooges osui täysin maaliin. Yhtyeen debyyttilevyä vaivannut pidättyväisyys oli nyt kokonaan kadonnut, ja tilalla oli uusi raaka ja raivokas soundi. Uusi tuottaja onnistui taltioimaan bändin holtittomien live-esitysten energian täydellisesti. Myös Iggy Pop oli löytänyt kunnolla oman eläimellisen äänensä monotonisen narinan sijaan. Kokoonpanoa täydentää Steven MacKayn villi saksofoni. Fun House on kuin käsistä riistäytyvät bileet ja viimeinen biisi L.A. Blues onkin jo totaalista kaaosta.

Real good

This has primal caveman energy. When the saxophone comes in towards the end of 1970, it's like they push the self-destruct button and the album spirals further and further out of control until it's squealing free jazz. Favourite tracks: 1970, TV Eye

The Stooges at their best. It is the soundtrack to absolute delinquency. Bring it down! Nope. Bring it down! Nope. Bring it down! Passed out.

Not totally my thing but they're having a lot of fun and I wish I could have seen them live.

Took me right back my misspent youth..off me bonce on acid with this badboy part of the soundtrack of my life..Glorious

The second Stooges album was one of Steve Albini’s favorites, which is was brought me to The Stooges originally. Not as many ‘hits’ as the s/t debut and not as much Doors influence (but it’s still present), but noisier, dirtier, and bigger. Better songwriting too! Iggy Pop & Co. cement themselves as proto punk legends!

I think this is pretty great actually. Been "summer" so I am a bit distracted both for good and bad, but The Stooges are righteous to my tastes. I am not going to muck about with philosophy as I naturally ought, and just say "of course they are great!"

Holy shit. This thing is incredible

Fantastic album, love The Stooges. For an album from 1970, it feels like it could come out today and still ruffle feathers.

I really should listen to this album more often. It hits so fucking hard and I definitely have to be in the mood for it, but when I am there's not a lot better.

The best

I've had the Stooges before in this project and found them to be good, but not necessarily great. This is definitely better mixed than Raw Power was(I listened to Iggy's mix, Bowie's might be better), which usually makes for a more enjoyable album assuming the songs are up to par. They are, indeed, up to par. When you play this style of raw, garage rock, you don't need good lyrics or a ton of musical ability to make great songs. You just need enough musical ability to make a few catchy riffs on guitar and play them loud. That's exactly what this album is; loud, raw, and uncompromising yet with clear songwriting talent. This kind of pure, unfiltered aggression is one of my favorite things about rock and metal as genres, and this album captures that so well. It's musically and lyrically crude, but it's my kind of crude. This is the best Iggy Pop project on the list yet. This album is ranked #17 of 29 albums for 1970. Other 1970 albums rated by me: Bridge Over Troubled Water(2/29)-5 Led Zeppelin III(3/29)-4 Cosmo's Factory(4/29)-5 All Things Must Pass(6/29)-3 Tea for the Tillerman(10/29)-4 After The Gold Rush(11/29)-5 Deep Purple In Rock(14/29)-5 Ananda Shankar(27/29)-4

BEFORE: Good stuff. Love The Stooges and Down On The Street is my favourite Stooges song. Don't listen to them enough. AFTER: Yeah this is great. Love the shorter, punkier songs. Love the heavy, psychedelic freakouts and the weird jazz. Production is perfect for this kind of music. Everything is a highlight and there are no lowlights. VERDICT: An easy 5 stars.

Do you believe we live in a society of collective narcissism?

Fucking degenerate. 5 stars.

Esse disco é surreal de bom. Anos 70, iggy pop com o the stooges criou um álbum tão pesado que praticamente estava a frente de sua época, antecedendo vários movimentos, como o punk e o hardcore. Muito foda

Is this the first punk album? Down on the Street kicks ass! You can hear the influence on Rage Against the Machine. I'm really liking this so far. Fun House is another great song. Then they lose me on what amounts to a lot of noisy saxophone, random screaming and guitar distortion on L.A. Blues.

First listen to a brilliant album!

The best thing about this 1001 is me rediscovering amd learning more about tje Stooges and how awesome they really are
