Comparing the two bands in any great sense really doesn't make sense tbh. It's like comparing Britney Spears to Bjork or something.

The Stooges existed already.
Still missing the target. Only through sheer attitude can the Stooges stand toe to toe with the Ramones when it comes to aural assault. Even a song like "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell" is only just competing with "Blitzkrieg Bop", but other than that it's attitude and energy that give the Stooges an edge.
