Iggy & the StoogesRaw Power (Columbia)The Oxys Dig Raw Power: Ginchy of snotty rockers the Oxys told us about his love for a Stooges classic. Jason “Ginchy” Kottwitz: What can I say that has not already been said about Raw Power? Has an album ever been more appropriately named? Thethird studio album from the Stooges, rebranded Iggy & the Stooges with the addition of guitarist James Williamson, tops my list of greatest albums of all time.

This proto-punk classic laid some of the groundwork for the late ’70s punk revolution that would hit a few years after its release.Raw Power is characterized by its stripped-down, barb...
