The Stooges (also known as Iggy and the Stooges) were an American rock group that was formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States in 1967. Featuring a bombastic proto-punk sound, they released three studio albums before breaking up in 1974. Despite picking up little to no chart or radio success, the band has proved to be one of the most influential rock groups of the past several decades, inspiring many artists such as the Ramones. The band reunited in 2003 Read Full BioThe Stooges (also known as Iggy and the Stooges) were an American rock group that was formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States in 1967. Featuring a bombastic proto-punk sound, they released three studio albums before breaking up in 1974. Despite picking up little to no chart or radio success, the band has proved to be one of the most influential rock groups of the past several decades, inspiring many artists such as the Ramones. The band reunited in 2003, released two further record in 2007 and 2013, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. The band split again in 2016. Their best known lineup consisted of Iggy Pop (vocals), Ron Asheton (guitar), Dave Alexander (bass), and Scott Asheton (drums).
Singer Iggy Pop and his wild onstage antics were often the focus of attention. The band had a shambling, energetic sound deliberately reminiscent of past garage rock groups. They sold very few records in their original incarnation and often performed to indifferent or hostile audiences. Nevertheless, the Stooges are often regarded as hugely influential both on then-nascent heavy metal movement and also on punk rock. As has been said about The Velvet Underground, the handful of people who did actually buy the Stooges' early records at the time ended up forming bands of their own and thus changed history. In fact, Velvet Underground member John Cale produced the original incarnation of their self-titled album. The 1969 album 'The Stooges' has received since its release critical acclaim from many reviewers over the years.
The Stooges drew their sound from a variety of influences. Examples include the often transgressive rock and roll artists The Doors, The MC5, The Rolling Stones, The Troggs, and The Who. As well, the band members enjoyed the work of jazz and soul artists such as Booker T and the MGs, James Brown, and Miles Davis (particularly 'Bitches Brew').
In 2003, Iggy, Scott, and Ron reformed The Stooges with Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt filling in. The 2000s lineup played festivals around the world, and in 2006 recorded a new album with Steve Albini.
Founding member and guitarist Ron Asheton was found dead at his home in Ann Arbor, MI on January 6, 2009. Iggy Pop posted a message on his website stating "I am in shock. He was my best friend."
On June 22, 2016, Williamson made an official statement for the band saying that the Stooges are no more.
"The Stooges is over. Basically, everybody's dead except Iggy and I. So it would be sort-of ludicrous to try and tour as Iggy and the Stooges when there's only one Stooge in the band and then you have side guys. That doesn't make any sense to me."

Reviled in 1970.
Revered in 2020.
This album will be fifty years old in November 2020. Ig has lived to see his
immortal legacy continue into the 21st Century.
Nobody, apart from Hendrix and James Brown has come even close.

They had it all without even figuring it out. The feeling, the sound, the energy, the guts, the wildness. Pure.

it's the distilled essence of the motor city.

One of the most powerful and intense LPs ever recorded. EVERY Punk and Metal band on Earth should listen to this one for inspiration.
Sir. Public
@Brewzerr It was more than punk and metal, noise rock took a few cues from the Stooges, Daily Dance (1973) was recorded after the band saw the Stooges live and decided to form an early noise rock group.
The Rhythm Section
Agreed.

Funhouse influenced a hell of a lot more than just punk and metal. This album has virally infected pretty much every new form of music that has cropped up in the last 50 years. whether the writers and performers of said new music know it or not. This was a true game-changer, and it will continue to inspire and influence for generations to come. Timeless fucking stuff right here.
