Yeah.
The second track wisely takes a different tack - and it's wonderful.
And 'Your Pretty Face...'! nuts!

The Stooges were more , too. No 'soul of a woman was created below' for THEM!

Can't decide. Probably equally high heights, but the Stooges have less crap to wade through. But they were also limited ultimately, Zep offers a lot more variety.
They're both great. Don't want to do without either.

The opening double whammy of Search and Destroy and Gimme Danger is pretty hard to beat. Your Pretty Face is wild and intense and Penetration is excellent too. I adore Shake Appeal as well but side two is lesser.

Preludin has had some of the best vs threads I've seen. They're splitting board opinion down the middle and sparking good thought and discussion.
After much thinking, I have to go with Zep for the depth of iconic songs. The Stooges beat them on pure excitement though. Fun House in particular could take on any Led Zeppelin album.

I've never been as big a fan of The Stooges as many on here. I find them a bit too samey. At their best though they created the template for a kind of electrifying rock music of pure attitude. I think they have four or five moments that are more exciting than anything LZ did, but I also think LZ have more depth and the more interesting catalogue to explore. A score draw then.

My 16 year old self went to a bunch of these shows. Usually 2 shows a night. If they weren’t too high for the 2nd show. Still the best live act I ever witnessed.

Iggy’s a very ambitious guy I've heard this before - he talks about the joy of firing people in his book I Need More - and I don't doubt it. I suppose most rockers who keep going long after the first flush ARE ambitious, even if it doesn't show. What I don't get is, how was Iggy's ambitions showing during this time when, by all accounts, he was off his fucking face/in rehab the whole time?

I’m pretty sure at that time his ambition was to get high. And he was was really good and highly successful for a number of years,

I like that "he swears at the audience" thing. I've probably mentioned this before, but I went to the Download festival once, half a lifetime ago, but I remember thinking, "I paid a shit load for this, and if one more band calls me a motherfucker..."
