Welcome back to the 9th episode of The Album Book Club! This week, Ian takes Chris on a journey through the origins of one of the most influential bands in rock history: The Stooges. From their raw beginnings, to the chaotic recording sessions that produced their self-titled debut, Ian lays out how Iggy Pop, the Asheton brothers, and Dave Alexander helped shape the genre of punk rock. The boys dig into the band’s sound, the stories behind the songs, and the lasting impact of an album that critics didn’t fully understand at first but has since become a cornerstone of rock music.
