The Stooges are one of the most influential bands in rock though in thier brief existence in the late '60's/early 70's they were more of an underground sensation and the group's legacy grew the next few decades and Iggy Pop had become a pop icon.Formed in 1967 by James Osterberg in Ann Arbour, Michigan who gained the nickname 'Iggy' from an earlier band he played in, The Iquanas and saw his favourite band Doors play in Chicago and became inspired and latter the three members of The Stooges added the nickname 'Pop' after a local street character thus took 'Iggy Pop' as his stage name. The rest of the band consisted of the Asheton brothers, Ron on guitar and Scott on drums with bassist Dave Alexander rounding out the line up.After seeing the MC5 in concert in Ann Arbour the band took on a raw grimy, noisy proto-punk style. Quite a hard rocking album for 1969. To me this sounds like THE STOOGES are using The Rolling Stones as their blues rock template but ramping up the adrenoline with a harder edge and a tasty wah-wah lead guitar. This debut album was a commercial flop at the time but the balls-to-the-wall rock they were delivering became a cult hit and would eventually catch on almost a decade later in the form of punk and metal.
