This week we’re discussing the legendary Stooges. This band needs very little introduction, but we will say they’re considered one of the greats for good reason. Although the Stooges did not receive much success during their initial run in the early 70s, their legacy—in addition to the lengthy and successful solo career of frontman Iggy Pop—continues to influence a laundry list of musicians and fans. They reunited in the early 00s with Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt. However, after the deaths of founding members Ron and Scott Asheton, the Stooges finally called it quits for good. Turn this one up loud—these guys are one of a kind.

Closing track: “Gimme Danger” from Raw Power (1973)
