What's The Big Deal About The Stooges?

27 min • 30 juli 2019

If you were to ask a contemporary group like say The White Stripes or The Hives about which band influenced their sound they would probably list off a bunch of names including The Stooges.

If you were to go back to the 90’s and ask the same question to Nirvana or Janes Addiction, one of the bands they would inevitability mention would be The Stooges.

Slip back to 80’s and ask Sonic Youth and they would probably say The Stooges…

If you travel back to the 70’s and ask The Sex Pistols or The Ramones and they would likely say…The Stooges…

Or ask David Bowie…and you’d get The Stooges…

Alright then so The Stooges seem to be on everyone’s list but hold on….this is a band that hardly sold any records in their day and were so messed up that their singer ended up in an asylum.

So, I guess the question must be asked…what’s the big deal about The Stooges?
