Fun House
The Stooges · 1970
Fun House is not chaotic by accident. It is chaotic by design—every choice made to collapse distance between player, instrument, room, and listener.

The Stooges · 1969
The Stooges’ 1969 debut is the first fixed document of their live practice — not a studio creation, but a cut-and-paste trace of feedback, gesture, and object-based noise. Critics rejected it. It sold poorly. Its sound comes from vacuum cleaners, oil drums, and funnels — not from production choices. Its ideas are physical, not compositional. Its value lies in what it reveals about where rock could go before it settled into form.
