(2003) | Raw Power is a 1973 (see 1973 in music) album by blues-rock/punk rock band The Stooges, fronted by future rock star Iggy Pop. Featuring blistering-fast guitar riffs and shouted vocals, Raw Power was not able to capture a mainstream market. In spite of the inaccessibility, a small number of listeners took the sound to heart, and many of these people soon became influential leaders in the early punk movement. A song, "Search and Destroy", was pulled from the album and released as a single in June. It did about the same in the charts as the album did. Raw Power peaked at #182 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. In 2003 the TV network VH1 named it the 69th greatest album of all time. Track listing - "Search and Destroy" - 3:26
- "Gimme Danger" - 3:28
- "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell" - 4:52 (originally titled "Hard to Beat")
- "Penetration" - 3:35
