it'd be like liking "onoffon" more than "vs."

what the fuck?

(jus' fuckin' w/ ya. raw power is mighty too.)

...actually, i've found myself listening to "Signals, Calls, and Marches" (CD version with "Max Ernst/Academy Fight Song" single) more than either of those albums as of late.

and yes, Funhouse is a terriffic record. i just listened to it today. objectively speaking, it probably is a better record (i always make the analogy of why i like Big Black's Bulldozer better than Atomizer in cases like this) something about the brashness of Raw Power really tickles me, though.

Okay, I don't still have it, but I do remember it was called Rough Power, and it was on one of those official-bootleg type cds.

My God

One guy says that the Doors's engineer produced Funhouse, other says that his name is Dan Gallucci.

It's Don Gallucci, and he was never involved with the Doors.

I think Rubin it's not a option, it should be Albini or White.

"Raw Power" RULZ.

I would like to hear the version that Steve engineered, though - before Scott Litt remixed it.

Hint: their guitarist produced a crappy album by a band for whom Steve produced a really good album. First correct answer wins a hickey.

oh i know

they're called franz raptureband

andy gill from gang of four.
(yes i know it was obvious - the smart arse bit is coming...)

he was referring to the jesus lizard but there is another band these two have in common - boss hog. so there you go.

Is Gill responsible for the hilarious backing vocals and sound effects on 'Hard' by GO4?

Because that makes him the best terrible producer ever.

Are the Stooges capable of writing quality material again?

Well, have you heard Skull Ring? The Stooges' 4 tracks on that record were easily its best. Unfortunately, they were only comparative highs on an album of lows. The main problem is Iggy, who hasn't written a decent lyric since about the twelfth century, and if that is brought into a new Stooges record, well, I hope you like corn.

Unless Iggy finds his muse again, I'd hope the engineer I like least will end up with the job, because that poor sap will have to say he recorded the new Stooges album (and probably share some criticism).

If he finds his muse again, I'll be first in line at the record store on that fateful Tuesday morn.

I beg to differ.

"Look Away" is a pretty good lyric.
