The Stooges were the beginning of EVERY awesome kind of heavy rock music. I wonder if Iggy would agree that the Stooges are definitively punk. Let's ask him. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5ho61yPXg[/youtube]
it seems iggy decided that journalists and detractors were cheapening the perception of the music by making it marketable or systematically categorizing a genre as worthless. that doesn't mean that he denies being punk. he just has a priority to put his principles on display while he has a soap box.
