Is this a great live album?
Is it the best live album by Iggy Pop and/or The Stooges?
I’m classifying this album mainly as proto-punk (i.e. it inspired the development of punk and new wave music in the mid to late 1970s). I don’t yet have a poll for it.
It’s also hard rock so you may be interested in voting in the best hard rock and heavy metal live albums poll.
You may also be interested in the poll to find the best new wave and punk rock live albums.
