Classic Albums #17: The Stooge's Fun House
 

is this the right thread number?

About as good as it gets for me. Rock and fuuucking roll.
If you are a fan of rock music and you haven't heard this record, do yourself a favor maan..
One of the few perfect things handed down from god to man. It has no flaws in my eyes
Thoughts? Feelings?

Best Stooges album hands down. I mean Loose, T.V. Eye, 1970, Fun House, c'mon! Their first album has some pretty good songs on it like I Wanna Be Your Dog, but this album totally captures the raw energy and greatness that is The Stooges.

Probably my favourite album of all time.

I dig Fun House, but Raw Power is the ultimate Stooges album to me.

Since they remastered it, I prefer Raw Power now too. Not to take anything away from Fun House though.

for me, raw power and funhouse are tied as the best iggy ever, for different reasons of course.

Raw Power to me sounds too polished.

second best album of all time. brilliant beyond words. not a single flaw.
last three songs are one of the true masterpeices of rock and roll.

plus i'm seeing them live in like 11 hours!!!!!!!

Fun house is alright. Nothing compared to the weirdness though. And by that I mean I haven't heard the weirdness. And by that I mean Funhouse is great

This is the first "Classic album" that i actually own. Its a good laugh.

Greatest rock album of all time!

Excellent album. The reissue on Sundazed LP is super-fine, too.

Aye, this album tis genius. Personally, I still go for the first one, as it's the first I heard, and I'd listened to it a lot before Funhouse fell into my lap.

Polished? Oh my, that's one of the most blown out records of all time, recording wise. It wasn't recorded the right way, or i should say Iggy wanted more and more distortion on the whole thing. it was completely in the red, unpolished.

on a side note, I read Iggy biography, Open up and Bleed..recommend it highly..

I think Bollocks must be taking the piss.

Personally, my favourite Stooges album by far is The Weirdness.

Now you're taking the piss.

nice blend of jazz and rock. epic.

What I mean by that is the playing and singing seems to perfect or too planned out compared to the playing on Fun House.

Don't mind me, i'm just full of Iggy facts right now after reading the biography. haha.. I think Fun House was their best overall. That was their prime too. Raw Power changed up the lineup and had Straight James Williamson on guitar. It's great, if for only two songs, cuz i really don't even listen to the rest of it..but Search and Destroy and Gimme Danger are just outrageous, the cream of the crop..
