The Stooges

The Stooges are an American rock band that was first active from 1967 to 1974, and then reformed in 2003. The Stooges sold few records in their original existence and often performed for indifferent or hostile audiences. Nevertheless, The Stooges are often regarded as hugely influential in both the heavy metal and punk rock genres. Singer Iggy Pop and his wild onstage antics were often the main focus of attention.
