The Stooges, formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1967, are a groundbreaking American rock band that laid the foundation for punk and proto-punk music. Led by the iconic Iggy Pop, along with guitarist Ron Asheton, drummer Scott Asheton, and bassist Dave Alexander, the band is renowned for their raw, aggressive, and confrontational performances. Their debut album, released in 1969 and produced by John Cale of The Velvet Underground, set the tone for their distinctive sound. Known for their provocative stage antics, including acts of self-mutilation by Iggy Pop, The Stooges' music is a gritty and relentless departure from the psychedelic trends of the late '60s. Their influential discography includes seminal albums like "Funhouse" and "Raw Power," which continue to inspire generations of musicians. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, The Stooges' legacy as pioneers of punk rock is undeniable, making them a must-listen for any rock enthusiast.
