Usually I've covered big artist catalogs over numerous posts at my blog, but I also introduced a feature called "B-Sides The Point" where I revisit a smaller catalog in a single post before moving on to my next large one (previous entries in this series focused on Television and Big Star). This time I chose the music of THE STOOGES:

For those of you who don't know me, I'm revisiting the complete catalogs of artists in my music collection, and posting my thoughts on a few albums at a time. Instead of focusing on my favorites, I've been choosing artists whose catalogs I own but haven't played as frequently as I'd like to. In addition to the two artists I mentioned above, I've covered Van Morrison, Talking Heads, The Band, Roxy Music, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Nick Drake, Black Sabbath, Tom Waits, The Beach Boys, Foo Fighters, Uncle Tupelo, PJ Harvey, Neil Young, Alice Cooper, XTC, Metallica, The Jayhawks and The Kinks (plus "Compilation Or Catalog?" posts on The Commodores, Montrose, Jimmy Buffett, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Cure). If you'd like to know more about me and the reasons for starting the blog, check out the "About" page here:

I have a feeling a lot of people will disagree with my appraisals of the three Stooges albums discussed in this post, but maybe some of you feel the same way I do. Please stop by & let me know your thoughts, either here or in the Comments section at the bottom of the post. Thanks as always for indulging me in some self-promotion.

I have the basic cd version of The Stooges, Fun House and Raw Power, and love all three. Maybe I should pick up a deluxe edition of those first couple albums, if they're reasonably priced.

What I heard of Ready to Die didn't appeal to me but then I only heard about half the album in a record store.

Based on the feedback I've received, the two post-reunion albums are only for the diehard fans, so as expected I will likely not be checking them out. I'm better off giving some solo Iggy Pop albums a shot.

LT, I'm really glad I have the 2-CD editions of the first two albums. The bonus stuff may not be essential but since you love both albums you'll probably be excited by the alternate takes.
