Iggy Pop is one of the most charismatic, energetic, and iconic artists in rock history. His no-holds-barred performance style has captured the attention of multiple generations, but his music has been of even greater importance. With The Stooges, Iggy played primal, stripped-down rock, which was key to the development of punk, metal, and grunge. His solo career saw him add even more variety to his sonic palette, inspiring the likes of David Bowie, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Joy Division, and many others.
