Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being.
The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album.
Their bracing follow-up, the 1970 Fun House, portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever.
