It was really this song that convinced me of the greatness of The Stooges. Not I Wanna Be Your Dog, not Gimme Danger.
It’s just pure grimey, slimey, smokey, ashed out, liquor soaked cool.
that wah-wah guitar is sick. The bass, too. And then you’ve Iggy, who’s practically (and probably was) down on his knees with the mic. It’s a steamy and desperate, almost ~almost~ tender performance that’s soaked in sex.
i been hurt / and i dont care / cause i’m / burnin / inside / just dreamin / this life

Time to get this out of the way!
this is the greatest rock song ever made. The thing about the other greats… led zepp…. pink floyd… uh… the beatles? idk who else to consider…. and im purposefully not talking about the rolling stones BECAUSE this song is very stones inspired- but the big difference (as pointed out by lester bangs) is that while Jagger primps and preens, iggy writhes around and dares you to take a look at what it means to be horny, confused, dirty, no-dream, no-promise, no-skill, no-nothing. the real animus of the end of the fever dream sixties- that mask comes off and you get just a gaping and confused id. Ok those other bands i mention can rock, but i dont think i ever really feel their music in my guts… it’s more like a head high, wow far out man shadows are taller than our souls! that’s a cool wall made of bricks!
this is like a whole psychosexual unmasking- the hippies preferred making love, but i think everyone really just likes to fuck if you know what i mean!
like why did it take someone so long to just come out and sing so messed up / i want you here? Isnt that just the most honest way of expressing yearning…?
this has the velvet underground‘s errrr s&m “sexiness” but i just believe it more. way more. like being a teenager and getting that first real confusing, world shattering, despondent crush. it’s Primal.
You just cant beat that riff either.
just give it a listen.

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
