thanks for putting this together zin

looks more 'expected', at least by me, now that funhouse is top

this is a hard thing to do, they only had 4 albums, and how do you put one above the other, ok weirdness would come 4th, its great but no masterpiece obviously, but how do you choose between the 3 main albums? (thats a rhetorical question btw)

yr welcome HJW. still checkin.

Fun House is nr 1 cuz it has the most nr 1 votes
but not the most overall votes

Interesting stuff ZinZin, thanks!

yeh. welcome. ok.

3. Stooges -2cd version (well...it's more)
4. Metallic KO -2cd version (again...more)


5. The Weirdness (Ron is great here)

Geez. It's like choosing between oxygen and sunshine, so I'll just cheat...

1. Fun Power
2. Rubber Legs (vinyl)
3. Everything else

Now my choices fall in line with the current results!

1. Fun House
2. Raw Power
3. The Stooges
4. Funhouse Sessions 7CD
5. Heavy Liquid

(I don't have Heavy Liquid yet, but I am including it based on the track listing!)

i never understood why the list included box sets.

With the Iggy mix of Raw Power I mean the 1997 version and not the pre-Bowie version.

don't you like to choose between the pleasure of 29 Loose takes or the 7 songs on Fun House?

Fun Power?! hahahaha. wish this album would exist.
only rubber legs can be included.. is that what you want Trailerborn..
or should i see it all as a sheer joke?

yeah, but aren't box sets a bunch of albums combined? granted the fun house sessions box set are the sessions (which is technically six discs) -- heavy liquid is made up of six different album releases. rubber legs, open up and bleed, rough power .. all compilations.

i mean, i'm sure you can all see what i'm saying. i'm not trying to cause an argument here. i like all of you. i was just trying to really break it down into what is really an "album" .. the rest of them are just compilations and box sets.

technically for the stooges, and iggy and the stooges (if say, you combine them - not as one group, but one identity) they really only have a few official album releases. while a lot of stuff is between bootlegged/semi-official/compilation the only real proper record company releases in my mind are these:

self-titled
fun house
raw power
metallic k.o.
telluric chaos
the weirdness
escaped maniacs (if you want to count that bonus disc on the euro release)

I agree with Shakes.

My list:

1. Fun House
2. Raw Power
3. Stooges
4. Metallic KO

yeh. yr right. theoretically.
too late to change the thread.

an update of 25 lists:
didn't include Trailerborn's yet.

think it's better to join the both Metallic KO albums together. what do you think?

Hmmm...

25 lists and Raw Power has 26 votes? You haven't employed George W. to count those votes have you?

Rubber Legs was the first & best of the bootlegs that I purchased. The Columbia Studios stuff (if this is when it was taped) smokes any and all of the live bootlegs by virtue of it being an actual studio recording. The guitar on 'Open Up & Bleed', for example, is crunchier & more satisfying than the many live recordings. (The live lyrics are more evolved, though). My copy came with the live 'I Need Somebody' 45, adding to the overall coolness. Also, I had it autographed by Ron Asheton and none of the dozens of bootlegs I bought later have managed to surpass it. So, yeah, a strong #2!
