The Stooges | Vibepedia

The Stooges were a highly influential [[rock|rock]] band from Ann Arbor, Michigan, formed in 1967. They are widely regarded as one of the first [[punk-rock|punk rock]] bands, with their raw, energetic sound and anti-establishment ethos paving the way for future generations of [[ramones|Ramones]], [[sex-pistols|Sex Pistols]], and [[the-clash|The Clash]]. The Stooges' music was characterized by its primitive, [[blues|blues]]-infused sound, with [[iggy-pop|Iggy Pop]]'s unpredictable stage presence and poetic lyrics. The band's debut album, [[the-stooges|The Stooges]], was released in 1969 to critical acclaim, but it wasn't until their second album, [[fun-house|Fun House]], that they gained a significant following. The Stooges' influence can be heard in many subsequent [[post-punk|post-punk]] and [[alternative-rock|alternative rock]] bands, including [[nirvana|Nirvana]] and [[radiohead|Radiohead]].
