For hardcore, I'd say Minor Threat's Out of Step, Bad Brains' debut or DK's Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables.

Raw Power just has so much snarl, swagger, darkness, and attitude. The rock n roll swagger of it really gets me.

Dead Boys and Ramones are certainly personal favorites but something about Raw Power just puts it over the top for me. Punk rock baby.

Add on Beastie Boys Polly Wog Stew and I'm with you.

I like Black Flag's live act, but there albums are actually pretty terrible.

[tragabigzanda]

Anyway the best sounding rock album of all time is Jesus Lizard Goat. Every band that ever wanted to sound bad-ass should have just aped this sound.

Yeah, and their output is all over the place. I'm much more of a Henry guy.

Other notables: Sorry Ma, forgot to take out the Trash, Hootenany, Let It Be

God I love the replacements so much.

I know it's a controversial album for 'Mats fans, but All Shook Down is my fav Replacements album. Tim is a pretty close second.

Yes Raw Power is perfect and I love the shitty recording

[Birds in Hell]

Counterpoint: Raw Power is easily the weakest of the three original Stooges albums.

It’s literally the only one I ever listen to

Counterpoint: Raw Power is easily the weakest of the three original Stooges albums.

Put "I Got A Right" and "Gimme Some Skin" on there and it's a lot stronger.

I rank it in the middle behind Fun House.

Man, you've got to blast some Fun House.

[LoathedVermin72]

I’ve heard it. It’s fine. But I could just listen to Raw Power instead, you know?

[Birds in Hell]

A significant factor in my preference: Ron Asheton > James Williamson.

Williamson's guitar on Raw Power is just a bit too standard rock n' roll, Asheton was tapping into something more primal.

I like Kill City more than Fun House TBH

[chewm]

God I love the replacements so much.

Let It Be is the perfect rock record. It's so raw yet oddly beautiful.
