Iggy Pop & The Stooges

The Stooges (also known as Iggy Pop & The Stooges) is an American rock band from Ann Arbor, Michigan first active from 1967 to 1974, and later reformed in 2003. Although they sold few records in their original incarnation and often performed for indifferent or hostile audiences, the Stooges are widely regarded as instrumental in the rise of punk rock, as well as influential to alternative rock, heavy metal and rock music at large.

The Stooges will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2010.
