Release date: August 16, 2005
Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album. Their bracing follow-up, Fun House portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever. Each immortal album is now remastered and twice as amazing with a second disc of rarities and previously unreleased tracks.

As far as front men go, I think Iggy legs Mick out by a few inches. Both have longeivity and great presence. Mick is my favorite too. BUT! Iggy pushed limits onstage, literally flirting with near death performances.
It's a photo finish!
Thanks for the info too!
I loves me Stooges! |

i think Mick is more professional and knows how to work a crowd more.
iggys a bit more like a truck-smash!!!
Im also a big Iggy fan, would like to see him again in concert. Only seen him once.
I guess the stones are my favourite closely followed by the Iggster

Damn, I hope they bring that out to NYC. The Stooges, Neil Young and Little Richard are at the top of my list of "acts I need to see before one of them croaks." |
