The Stooges - Raw Power (1973)
Produced by David Bowie, who also helped re-form the band, Raw Power was the Stooge's late swansong, and their most influential album. The Detroit group were already legendary for incendiary live shows and first two albums, but Raw Power, though selling as poorly as its predecessors, was subsequently cited as a prime influence by virtually every group in the British punk scene. Without this...no punk, so no Sex Pistols (who covered 'No Fun"); no White Stripes.
A great one for sure, but even the remastered CD is among the worst recordings in my collection, and that's saying a lot since I have quite a few crappy ones.
