The Stooges are one of those groups, that people just feel they have to like as its the cool thing to do. The amount of people that I`ve met over the years, that say they love the Stooges (I`d guess most have only heard a few songs) usually amazes me, considering the lack of musical knowledge that some of these people have.
The Stooges were about energy and attitude which they had in abundance, which made up for their lack of quality in the song writing department.
The story goes, that Iggy Pop was actually one of the first well known vocalists to be inspired by Jim Morrison when the Doors appeared in Detroit circa 68. He was so impressed to see Jim in a daze, falling on the floor and falling off the stage, that he knew he just had to incorporate some of this into his own act
