The STOOGES
RON ASHETON, DAVE ALEXANDER, IGGY POP, SCOTT ASHETON
Seminal Detroit proto-punks whose primitive, simple, and vicious music set
the template for a generation of volatile performers. During the psychedelic haze of the late '60s,
the grimy, noisy, and relentlessly bleak rock & roll of the Stooges was conspicuously out of time.
Like the Velvet Underground, the Stooges revealed the underside of sex, drugs, and rock & roll,
showing all of the grime beneath the myth. The Stooges, however, weren't nearly
as cerebral as the Velvets. Taking their cue from the over-amplified pounding of British blues,
the primal raunch of American garage rock, and the psychedelic rock
(as well as the audience-baiting) of the Doors, the Stooges were raw, immediate, and vulgar

SLEEVE VG(+) but (please, see pictures and read above description)
While the Stooges had a few obvious points of influence -- the swagger of the early Rolling Stones,
the horny pound of the Troggs, the fuzztone sneer of a thousand teenage garage bands,
and the Velvet Underground's experimental eagerness to leap into the void -- they didn't really sound
like anyone else around when their first album hit the streets in 1969.
It's hard to say if Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton, Dave Alexander, and the man then known as Iggy Stooge
were capable of making anything more sophisticated than this, but if they were, they weren't letting on,
and the best moments of this record document the blithering inarticulate fury of the post-adolescent id.
Ron Asheton's guitar runs (fortified with bracing use of fuzztone and wah-wah) are so brutal and concise
they achieve a naïve genius, while Scott Asheton's proto-Bo Diddley drums
and Dave Alexander's solid bass stomp these tunes into submission with a force that inspires awe.
And Iggy's vividly blank vocals fill the "so what?" shrug of a thousand teenagers
with a wealth of palpable arrogance and wondrous confusion...(AllMusic)
