Detroit rock and roll at it's finest. Raw Power is the perfect name for this. This site directed me to the Iggy mix for this album and that seems to be the right choice. Also, this album is only 34 minutes which is perfection. Get you in, get you out.

I was worried when I listened to the first track and I thought it was going to be an awful album because that chintzy 80's production just doesn't work for John's vocals. Thankfully, it got much better. The last few tracks where it's just John and not guest stars are really good. Unfortunately, a lot of these older blues artists were basically releasing singles instead of actual albums during their peak periods, so they've been represented on this list by later output that doesn't show them at their best.

Dollar store Mary J. Blige. The lyrics are corny and oftentimes preachy. I don't know why it's listed under electronica on this site when the only thing this has in common with electronica is that it's terrible.

Debut albums don't get too much better than this. I wish they could have kept it up instead of imploding, but we got this and the Illusion records out of the deal at least.

I love the early Wu-Tang releases because of how grimy and raw the production. It's like a 70's grind house flick for your ears.

Rated 6/10

Standard 70s hard rock. I guess their gimmick is that they spell their songs wrong. Not bad, but I don't think this will be in rotation too much.

Well, this was a nice surprise. Never heard of this artist but I thoroughly enjoyed her mix of synth pop and psychedelia.

David in his coked out soul brother era. You can hear a young Luther Vandross on some of these tracks. Another solid album from one of the greats.
