Default Fun House vs. Raw Power

The ultimate question and I don't even know. I mean Fun House cause it's so blues awesome **** and I've heard it more, but I still refuse to say.

The song Loose makes feel invulnerable. I know we’re talking about two records full of great songs but Loose, for me, is some other level ****. It tips it to Fun House it’s so good.

That is absolutely the best song on both albums. If I were going to engage in a car race it would be to that song.

But "Pretty Face Is Going to Hell" is absolutely the first true punk song ever recorded and vastly immense. If I were ever going to introduce a rando to the Stooges it would absolutely be with this song. It's like rock had an abortion and threw a party to celebrate.

Got's to go with Fun House as well. The A-side is nearly perfect rock nirvana and the way the B-side progressively devolves from rock to basically free form noise over three tracks is just the coolest. The only thing I'm not over the moon about is "Dirt".

I'm saying Fun House too. Fun house beginning to end is just a big crazy barrage of awesomeness. As awesome as Raw Power is, it just never had the replay value that Fun House did.

Tough one.
I admit to listening to Raw Power more often, since it's the better album for driving.
Fun House is still the superior album, by a small margin.
And **** you, Batty, Dirt is awesome.
