In 1963, he was tried at first to be a rock musician, and then became a permanent member of the band The Iguanas, whence came his nickname (short for "Iguana"). Iggy later with his brother, guitarist Ron organized and drummer Scott Ashton and bassist Dave Alexander, a group of the Stooges. It all started with a simple chord progression with the raw, powerful guitar riffs and downright rude to text. Iggy's voice sings an open manner suggested the Jim Morrison, lead singer of the Doors. Perhaps that record company signed with Elektra Pop and his band a contract. The first album, The Stooges (1969) was produced by former member John Cale VelvetUndeground. Producer and the group clashed: Cale tried to introduce the songs Stooges vanguard and detachment, but it achieved only in We Will Fall, a nine anthem sadness, hopelessness and despair. Commercial failure of the album does not come as a surprise. Concerts The Stooges have traditionally turned to show the destruction and self-torture - Pop on stage in a semi-conscious state, armed with the audience, hitting the bottle fell on his back and covered with blood, went on show. It will later gave him the title of "first punk." The second album, The Stooges came a year later. Pop used some techniques of free jazz, remembers his favorite Coltrane, who added an exotic music (composition La Blues), but does not increase sales.

Two years later, Pop, Williamson, along with the album Kill City published, was, however, only in 1978, and the last album The Stooges were two live albums - Metallic KO (1976), and 2 X Metallic KO (1986). In early 1976, Pop again addicted to drugs and almost killed. To help him come back Bowie, who offered to record a solo album. For the album The Idiot Bowie as producer, pianist, guitarist and co-writer of most of the songs, as well as attracted musicians of his band - drummer Dennis Davis and bassist George Murray. The album was influenced by The Doors, along with a soft, hypnotic sound, characteristic of creativity Bowie. The release coincided with the beginning of the punk revolution and the new interest in the old records The Stooges - sang their song Damned and other punks. The next album Lust For Life, recorded in West Berlin, was optimistic, The Idiot, and took it to the author, some dividends. British critic called it "the best album in the works of Pop." The album New Values joined newly Williamson. Follow its release, the signing of the contract with Arista, Pop keeps potentially commercial artist. For the next album soldier was composed assembled supergroup from: bassist Glen Matlock (ex-Sex Pistols), guitarist Ivan Kral (ex-Patti Smith Group), drummer Klaus Kruger (ex-Tangerine Dream), keyboardist Andrew BARR (ex-XTC) but the album failed and sounded almost banal.

The third round began in 1983, when the scene turned Bowie released a best-selling album Let's Dance, one of the biggest hits, from which the song China Girl was co-written with pop is an album The Idiot. Royalties and prestige fueled pop: with the former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, they took and showed her demokassetu Bowie, who immediately his services as a producer for the next album. The Blah Blah Blah, was published in 1986, has finally allowed Popa due to take it rightful place in pop music. The album has sold several times more widely than any previous combined.
