Musicians

The Resume

    (1967- )
    Members are Iggy 'Stooge' Pop (vocals/lyrics, 1967-1974), Scott Asheton (drums, 1967-1974), Ron Asheton (guitar 1967-1972, bass 1972-1974), Dave Alexander (bass 1967-1972)
    Recorded studio albums 'The Stooges (1969),' 'Fun House (1970),' 'Raw Power (1973),' live albums 'Metallic K.O. (1976),' a couple songs in the Iggy Pop solo album 'Skull Ring (2003),' and bootleg album 'Live 1971 and Early Live Rarities (1988)'

Why they might be annoying:

    The limited-edition studio-sessions version of 'Fun House' features several versions of the same songs all over again (30 versions of 'Loose' and 12 versions of 'Dirt' to name a few).
    Bassist Dave Alexander quit the group in 1972 and died of an alcohol overdose/pneumonia in 1975.
    25 years after 'Raw Power' was released, Iggy remixed the album.
    All the members fell through drug addictions, causing the group to tear apart and break up.
    'Kill City' and the 'Jesus Loves The Stooges' EP are credited as The Stooges, when they are really Iggy's solo songs.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were instrumental in pioneering the punk movement in music.
    They were part of the Detroit sound of the 1960's.
    Former Kingsmen pianist, Don Gallucci, produced 'Fun House,' giving it a sludgy raw nature. David Bowie produced the third album, giving it a glammy/bluesy feel).
    Three decades after breaking up, The Stooges reunited and toured. The Stooges also contributed to four songs in the Iggy Pop solo album 'Skull Ring (2003).'
