I always looked for something no one else was listening to. The first Zeppelin album was incredible until everyone else was playing it, but The Stooges never let me down with universal popularity. Therefore I still listen to them to this day. I was just playing this very disc in the car last week and when I couldn't find my Fun House cd, I ordered another one.
A couple weeks ago my oldest grandson was stuck with me for an hour and he endured a history of the band and about the time I saw them up in Ann Arbor in '71. I had "No Fun" cranked up on the Caddy's box to punctuate the lecture. I don't know what he thought of them, he wouldn't say because he really needed that ride.
Interesting note: On this first album the front man went by the name "Iggy Stooge" before changing it to Pop for their 2nd release. The Stooges broke new ground by inventing crowd surfing and throwing up on the audience, even though none of it was intentional. i believe guitar player Ron Asheton died just a year or so ago nixing any plans for a 21st century reunion. i hope they buried him with his wah wah pedal.
