The Stooges are one of the most influential bands in rock though in thier brief existence in the late '60's/early 70's they were more of an underground sensation and the group's legacy grew the next few decades and Iggy Pop had become a pop icon. Formed in 1967 by James Osterberg in Ann Arbour, Michigan who gained the nickname 'Iggy' from an earlier band he played in, The Iquanas and saw his favourite band Doors play in Chicago and became inspired and latter the three members of The Stooges added the nickname 'Pop' after a local street character thus took 'Iggy Pop' as his stage name. The rest of the band consisted of the Asheton brothers, Ron on guitar and Scott on drums with bassist Dave Alexander rounding out the line up. After seeing the MC5 in concert in Ann Arbour the band took on a raw grimy, noisy proto-punk style and.

Quite a hard rocking album for 1969. To me this sounds like THE STOOGES are using The Rolling Stones as their blues rock template but ramping up the adrenoline with a harder edge and a tasty wah-wah lead guitar. This debut album was a commercial flop at the time but the balls-to-the-wall rock they were delivering became a cult hit and would eventually catch on almost a decade later in the form of punk and metal. In particular I tend to hear influences on Alice Cooper and AC/DC. This first album is a strange mix as it drifts from hard rock to psychedelia and back again. They originally only had five songs but needed more and actually had to lie to get the record deal by telling them they had needed to record them.

The three tracks 'Real Cool Time', 'Not Right' and 'Little Doll' were written overnight and improvised on the spot in the studio. This album feels a little controlled compared to the next one where they unleash their aggressive energy and capture the raw live performance vibe. Despite the material varying in quality this is a decent debut that certainly has made more of an impact in retrospect than it ever did when it was released.

Iggy Pop sings in the track in question about how 'Rock critics wouldn't like this at all', and it's hard not to take that as a direct admission that as far as a followup to the band's legendary proto-punk releases at the dawn of the 1970s goes The Weirdness simply isn't up to scratch. On albums such as Raw Power and (especially) the incredible Fun House the Stooges sounded like nothing anyone had heard before, and precious little that has come since; on The Weirdness, they sound like any other third-rate garage band. In fact, the closest point of comparison is Skull Ring, Iggy Pop's preceding solo album (on which the Stooges reunion first manifested), a piece which showed a similar total lack of good ideas.

Many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk rock music and one of the most scandalous figures in the modern culture and there are many reasons why.

In short, I am left with the profound impression that Iggy got the Stooges back together simply because he ran out of better ideas, not because there was any material worthy of the band's illustrious past for them to perform. 'Raw Power' is the 3rd full-length studio album by US hard rock act The Stooges. The album was released through Columbia Records in February 1973. After the original Stooges lineup broke up after the release of their 2nd album 'Fun House (1970)', Iggy Pop and guitarist James Williamson relocated to London after meeting David Bowie, who helped them get a deal with Columbia Records. After unsuccessfully searching for a bassist and a drummer, Pop and Williamson asked original Stooges members Scott and Ron Asheton to fly over to London and become members of the band again.
