"A lot of what I did was: If you're not gonna do it, I'll do it for ya, I'll do it first."

There's a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk - every punk band past and present of the past has knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from him and his late '60s/early '70s band, The Stooges.

Widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic artists of all time, Iggy Pop foreshadowed both 70s punk and 90s grunge, and has built a legendary career filled with critical acclaim and cult fan success.
