For sure, Raw Power is one of the best punk albums EVER. The songs ooze energy and sexiness. If this isn't a classic, I don't know what is.

The greatest hard rock/punk/sleaze ball ballad/redneck trash...thingy ever created. The ONLY great American rock record imho.

Between Funhouse and Raw Power, the Stooges put out two perfect rock n' roll records. You don't know raw, unbridled, rock n' roll madness until you've listened to these two records.

One of my favorite records of all time. I think it's a testament to the Stooges that even today, "Raw Power" is the loudest record on my MP3 Player. And my MP3 player doesn't have a whole lot of lightweight music on it!

I?m tossing up my preference, I think fun house is still stronger but one thing is for damn sure. This album lives right up to its name. Especially RAW. Shits crazy brah

"Search and Destroy" is one of the greatest album openers of all time. Pure chaos and fury; exactly what the Stooges were and are! Next is the hypnotic and dismal "Gimme Danger". Excellent in its perverse chaos. "You're Pretty Face is Going to Hell" follows and it's explosive and beautifully so. As Iggy howls the title, it feels as if you're really going to Hell. I love this track; it's perfect. "Penetration" lives up to its namesake and it's fiery and chaotic. Following, is "Raw Power" which starts out with a glorious burp, signifying a "fuck you" to the audience; another perfect song. On the same plane as "Sister Ray" by the Velvets in terms of entropic intensity! "I Need Somebody" is an intense and volatile "ballad" of sorts; it's pure mania. "Shake Appeal" follows and it's my favorite song on this album; it's nonpareil in its intensity. Nothing I've ever listened to before or since has quite rocked so hard; perfect. Ending this album is the widely amplified and resonant "Death Trip" which is the perfect album closer. This album is my favorite album and has been ever since I first heard it. If you're looking for entropy personified, look no further! A+

Despite the rude quality of 'Search and Destroy', 'Gimme Danger' and 'Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell', the overamplified rock and production is just a little too raw and single minded: 'Death Trip' and 'Penetration' are classic examples.

The Stooges and David Bowie present a bare bones, dirty sound, thus creating the spine for what would become punk.

This album is extremely cathartic. Gets rid of all my aggression. And after I feel more alive than I've ever been once I listen to it. Crazy.
