I used to be a Funhouse man, but Raw Power has definitely replaced it. With the slight exception of "Dirt" I love pretty much every song on that album, but the A-Side is kind of repetitive. The B-Side is brilliant though. I love how it slowly deconstructs and loses song structure as it goes on before completely going off the rails with "LA Blues".
