"Raw Power" by Iggy Pop and the Stooges set a bar that has not been surpassed [View all]

[Taverner]

In terms of raw angst

Raw anger, discontent, pure screaming at the walls, all out display of great righteous rage....


No one has topped this.

Nobody.

Not Pearl Jam, whom I love

Not Screaming Trees, whom I love even more

Not Eminem or anyone current

Nobody

You can't beat the swagger of "Penetration" or "Gimmie Danger"

You can't replace the all out anarchy of "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell" or "Shake Appeal"

Simply put, this album set a mark by which nobody has ever achieved greater...
