The Stooges are an American rock band which formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States in 1967. They released three studio albums before breaking up in 1974. Despite having little, if no chart or radio success, the band has proved to be one of the most influential rock groups of the past 40 years. The band reunited in 2003 and released another record in 2007. 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 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 and later 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. Velvet Underground member John Cale produced the original incarnation of their self-titled album).
The Stooges drew their sound from a variety of influences: The Who, James Brown, Bitches Brew, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Booker T and The MGs, The Troggs, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and The MC5.
In 2003, Iggy, Scott, and Ron reformed The Stooges with Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt filling in. The current lineup has played festivals around the world since, and in 2006 recorded a new album with Steve Albini.

It'd be fucking sweet if the Stooges returned to the West Coast for another tour. I honestly can't believe they got Williamson to replace Asheton for their future shows. It was to everyone's impression that he had been done with performing since the late 70s.

"Pretty great"? I'd sell my children if I had any to be as awesome as Fun House. And I still wouldn't be.

i used to think that raw power was better than fun house. now that i've listened to all three, i think it's actually the other way around. both are pretty great records, nonetheless.
