Before the Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash or The Damned there was The Stooges. They were punk before punk but they were also, Garage Rock, Psychedelia, Hard Rock, Blues and Acid Jazz. They created a genre all their own and couldn’t be defined by any one adjective. Iggy Pop, Dave Alexander, Steve Mackay and the Asheton brothers (and later James Williamson) were possibly the greatest Rock ’N Roll band of all time and Fun House is their crowning achievement.
