Moving back to Ann Arbor, he founded a band with bass player Dave Alexander and the brothers Ron (guitar) and Scott (drums) Asheton, where he became the frontman. Initially called the Psychedelic Stooges, the band was a PsychedelicRock band as there were thirteen in a dozen near the end of TheSixties. Under a new name, Music/TheStooges, the band eventually made the bridge between the peace-loving hippie crowd and the proto-punk music that would shape TheSeventies towards PunkRock.

* DarkerAndEdgier: He is infamous from bringing back a sense of danger and excitement to rock 'n' roll that caused outrage during the final years of TheSixties when most of the music was still into the "peace and love" realms of flower power. Musically Music/TheStooges were one of the pinnacles of proto-punk and therefore Iggy had no problems being accepted by the PunkRock movement, which he more or less paved the road for.

Iggy was TheFaceOfTheBand. He was an exciting and outrageously energetic performer during stage shows, just all movement. You couldn't take his eyes off him and often his antics were so audacious that a large part of the crowd actually felt frightened of him at times. Iggy smeared himself with peanut butter, rolled around in broken glass and even jumped into the crowd (which later became known as stage diving and crowd-surfing), all while baiting and verbally abusing his audience. This alienated a large part of the crowd, but attracted a dedicated cult audience. Their three albums, ''Music/{{The Stooges|Album}}'' (1969), ''Music/{{Fun House|Album}}'' (1970) and ''Music/RawPower'' (1973) are now {{cult classic}}s, but didn't sell well at the time. The band also suffered under extreme heroin and alcohol abuse. After Music/DavidBowie produced the Stooges' third and final album ''Music/RawPower'' (1973) the band had a GrandFinale with a grandiose album in every sense of the word, but nevertheless split soon afterwards.

Real Life troping; Cool Old Guy is a narrative trope and deemed NRLEP because of that
