Few albums have caused as much of a stir and left as much of an impression as The Stooges' debut album. For most listeners who discovered it shortly after its release – incidentally, in the same week as Woodstock 1969 – the record seemed to come from another planet, even though the songs accurately reflected the band's Detroit surroundings and the discontent of youth. Rolling Stone also had no mercy on The Stooges, describing the album of the same name as “loud, boring, tasteless, unimaginative and childish” – an opinion shared by many other critics. And yet it was Rolling Stone that later included “The Stooges” in its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, creating the template for countless styles and the aggressive attitude that would come to be associated with the punk scene years later.
