Raw Power
Raw Power just blasts you right in the face eight times; eight great hard rock ‘n’ roll songs.
Rock
Fun House
Fun House actualized the claims that rock ‘n’ roll was the devil’s music. As crystal-clear a death knell of the utopian-minded 1960s as anything.
The Stooges
“Professional” bands of the time would have sanded off all those rough edges to make their sound more palatable. But the Stooges intuited that raw and rowdy could be the essence of their craft a decade before it became voguish to do so.
Flash
The Moving Sidewalks were no mere springboard for ZZ Top; Flash is a very solid southern psych blues record in its own right.
In Space
The result is a net negative for the band’s legacy (hence why I prefer to pretend that this doesn’t exist).
Radio City
Bell seemed to be a catalyst for Chilton that allowed Big Star’s songs to jell into fully realized miniature masterpieces.
