The Stooges

The Stooges led by Iggy Pop defined the US garage band genre and went on to become one of the most influential bands of the late 1960s and early '70s. The band were formed by brothers Ron and Scott Asheton on guitar and drums alongside bass player Dave Alexander and with Iggy Pop on vocals. The two Asheton brothers came and went at various times from The Stooges line-up but most fans agree they were pivotal to the band's raw sound and when Ron Asheton died in 2009 at the age of 60 many believe that The Stooges died with him. For a band who were so widely known and revered, they only recorded five studio albums, the last of which was 'Ready to Die' which they released in 2013.
