298. The Stooges - Raw Power

Release Date: 1973
Label: Columbia

I listened to this album whilst driving to work this morning, sunlight in my eyes. After the first couple of tracks, I had high hopes for this. It went downhill fast after that howeve, and I can't see myself wanting to listen to it again.

Rating: 5/10

Release Date: 1970

Another album I already own, mainly because it was so cheap when I bought it.

172. The Stooges - The Stooges

Release Date: 1969
Label: Elektra

Another proto-punk album in the style of MC5, The Stooges hailed from Detroit - famous for being the home of Motown. Having being rejected by Berry Gordy for being too similar to Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Iggy Pop and The Stooges decided to cash on the developing punk/insurance (punksurance) craze and restyle themselves. The result? This album and a subsequent sideline career as insurance salesmen.
