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.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.
