Just got around to listening to both. I love the garage sound, but at this point it just sounds like the music they put in a scene about high school kids driving to a concert. Reminded me a bit of:

“Cherry Bomb” Played In Lieu Of Actual Female Character Development

But for like, for the 4 metal kids in the disco era.

That said, I'm not sure what Bowie added other than making it slightly more palatable to cowards. It felt like the roughness of it was reduced. Am I missing something?

Bagging on both Raw Power and The Runaways is self own squared.

I only ask that you judge me by my enemies.

And the Bowie version was the original.

The Iggy mix is rawer, more direct, snappier and louder. The Bowie version, as you said, is basically the same music with the balls cut off.

Yeah, absolutely. But that punky 70's sound has just been adopted by pharma commercials and children's shows at this point. Some of the tracks are better than others in sounding like real toons, but too much has been co-opted.

re: Bowie's being the original. Major improvement with the Iggy mix.

The only people who like the Bowie mix better are pussies and people who grew up with it.

This was worse than I imagined.

I agree. They have made their point now :laughing:

I always saw both Gallagher brothers as Stone Roses ripoffs. I think they both were on the Roses' road crew so that makes sense. Ian Brown was a much better frontman in my opinion.

Not bad, imo
