I could never get enough of the stooges, those first three albums are some glorious arc of rock that every band should have picked up on afterwards but didn't. Apparently the band recorded more songs after RP but they're all scattered across comps (year of the iguana, kill city, head on, My girl hates my heroin).

There's so many, which ones should be grabbed or skipped?

You do realise this is 2009?

A few things have happened in the music world since the Stooges and their stodge-rock wank.

Go explore.

Stop worshipping the past is usually my line.

But you do realize that no album in rock & roll has ever eclipsed the greatness of Funhouse, right?

This is actually a very good question (what the fuck is up with the previous replies?). My favorite is Wild Love: The Detroit Rehearsals and More, mainly because it has the drum machine cover of "The Ballad of Hollis Brown", but obviously it doesn't cover everything. Probably a Wild Love + Year of the Iguana combo would get you covered with the essentials, but personally I'd still like to hear from an in-depth connoisseur on this matter (maybe at the Stooges board) to figure out sound quality issues and whathaveyou.

On a related note, "Sony Legacy Recordings will release a deluxe version of Raw Power in April 2010. Raw Power: The Masters Edition will contain David Bowie's original Raw Power mix, a live soundboard recording from Atlanta in October 1973, and liner notes written by authorized Stooges biographer Jeffrey Morgan." Awesome shit or what! Now please, Legacy, Rhino, whoever: give the first two NY Dolls albums "the treatment" ASAP. DO IT GODDAMMIT.
