Iggy Pop
is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor. Designated the "Godfather of Punk", he was the vocalist of influential proto-punk band the
Stooges
, who were formed in 1967 and have disbanded and reunited multiple times since.
Initially playing a raw, primitive style of rock and roll, the band sold few records in their original incarnation and gained a reputation for their confrontational performances. He had a long collaborative and personal friendship with
David Bowie
over the course of his career, beginning with the Stooges' album
Raw Power
, and following with albums
The Idiot
and
Lust for Life
. Throughout his career, Pop is well known for his scintillating and unpredictable stage antics and distinctive voice. He was one of the first performers to do a stage-dive and popularized the activity, and he included such theatrics as rolling around in broken glass and exposing himself to the crowd. His music spans
garage rock, punk rock, hard rock, art rock, new wave, jazz, blues, and electronic. Many of Pop's songs have become well known, including
"Search and Destroy"
and
"I Wanna Be Your Dog"
by the Stooges, and his solo hits
"Lust for Life"
,
"The Passenger"
and
"Real Wild Child (Wild One)"
, and he has
remained culture icon and a influence on a wide range of musicians in numerous genres. The Stooges' album
Raw Power
proved an influence on artists such as
Sex Pistols
, the Smiths, the Sisters of Mercy,
Red Hot Chili Peppers,
and
Nirvana
. His solo album
The Idiot
has been cited as a major influence on a number of post-punk, electronic and industrial artists including Depeche Mode,
Nine Inch Nails
and Joy Division, and Siouxsie Sioux from the Banshees has said "The man is a genius." He was inducted as part of the Stooges into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
