Raw Power - The Stooges
Iggy Pop had dyed silver hair and a hard-drug habit when David Bowie took the rudderless Stooges under his wing and helped get them a deal with Columbia. "With Bowie," Pop wrote in his 1982 book, I Need More, "I didn't feel compelled to go to sleep every time something unpleasant happened." Under Bowie's aegis, the Stooges — with new guitarist James Williamson, who co-wrote all the material with Pop — cut this proto-punk-rock classic, originally issued in a cloth-eared-Bowie mix. But the wafer-thin sonics couldn't conceal the hellbent ferocity of "Search and Destroy," "Penetration" and "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell."
