This one might earn me a little bit of ire, but I think Raw Power (1973) is the only Stooges album worth talking about. This is proof that random and chaotic doesn't always mean "raw", and that when there's a focus on that raw energy it can be far more powerful. Fun House (1970) and The Stooges (1969) had good songs on them, but failed as a concise album and work better as singles, but Raw Power just really goes all-in and it really pays off.

I wouldn't go so far as to say complete genius, but he was an immensely talented folk musician. Pity that he was completely insane in all of the wrong ways.

Here's my unpopular music opinion. I love Guided By Voices, but find them frustrating. I always feel their songs are unfinished. I think Robert Pollard comes as close as anyone in a very long time to writing a perfect pop song, but rather than "finish" it, he seems content with it in, what I feel is, almost a demo stage.
