491 - The Stooges Search and Destroy 1973

The Stooges are an American rock band that was first active from 1967 to 1974, and then reformed in 2003. The Stooges sold few records in their original existence and often performed for indifferent or hostile audiences. Nevertheless, The Stooges are often regarded as hugely influential in both the heavy metal and punk rock genres. Singer Iggy Pop and his wild onstage antics were often the main focus of attention. "Search and Destroy" appears on the band's third studio album, Raw Power. Lead singer Iggy Pop said that he pulled the title "from a column heading in a Time Magazine article about the Vietnam War". In 1997, "Search and Destroy" along with the rest of the songs on Raw Power were remixed and remastered by Iggy Pop and Bruce Dickinson. The result was far more aggressive and stripped down than the original release, which had been mixed by David Bowie.
