07/11/2008 | A great live band but overall they lacked the great songs. A few of their albums are really good, but as a whole sort of mediocre in the studio. Iggy Pop as a solo artist is the same way, some of his stuff is excellent and some of it blows.

07/09/2008 | Does it all begin with the Dolls and the Stooges?
Of course not.
All the best bands, then and now, are (as Mick Jagger once put it) highly derivitive...

10/12/2007 | Fun House, the greatest album of the 1970's, is more than enough
to warrant their inclusion in the Hall of Fame. Those motherfuckers
better get their act together and induct The Stooges.

01/06/2007 | The granddaddy of punk to be sure. A lot of Iggy's 70's solo stuff is uninteresting to me but, the Stooges were way ahead of their time. And, like many great and influential artists, were not that appreciated during their heyday. When Iggy was with the Stooges he was just plain scary. Minimalist angst-rock at its best. I don't think that it was a fluke that the Pistols covered "No Fun" either.

06/19/2006 | Iggy is awesome and you can tell the Bowie albums that he collaborated on. He has a unique style about him that many have tried to immatate.

01/31/2006 | For me, "Raw Power" was and is the greatest rock album of all time, crappy David Bowie mix notwithstanding (Scotty Asheton sounds like he's playing drums through mud). The band line-up benefits enormously from the inclusion of James Williamson's blistering guitar playing, and Iggy was never before and has never been since as manic and feral as he is here. What they put out as hard-to-find singles was even more incendiary- "I'm Sick Of You", "I Got A Right" (one reviewer whose name unfortunately escapes me once said Iggy's favorite themes for his lyric writing were: A. hatred of women B. hatred of himself and C. hatred of everybody else)...Look, I loved punk rock...still do...The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, etc....but even the best of their stuff was nothing but a pale, imitative approximation of what Iggy and the Stooges were able to accomplish when they were in their furious drug-addled glory, way back when.

Raw Power! A Punk rock Legend. Even his later stuff in the 80's is pretty good. I like that duet with the B-52's chick. I understand he made an album a couple of years ago but I never heard it.
