The Stooges chronology

Fun House is the second studio album by American rock band the Stooges. It was released on July 7, 1970, by Elektra Records.^[3] Though initially commercially unsuccessful, Fun House has since developed a strong cult following. Like its predecessor (1969's The Stooges) and successor (1973's Raw Power), it is considered an integral work in the development of punk rock.^[4]^[5]^[6]
