Born 1947 in Muskegon and raised in a trailer-park in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Iggy Pop began his musical career as a drummer in High-School. Although he achieved only limited mainstream success, Iggy Pop is one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. He's often referred to nicknames like "The godfather of punk" and "The Iguana". With this article I want to give you a broad overview of the impressive creative output of this extraordinary personality.
Iggy Pop was/is a musician, singer, songwriter, producer and actor. He started his career with a band he founded with Ron Asheton named "The Stooges". He recorded four albums with "The Stooges": "The Stooges", "Fun House", "Raw Power" and "The Weirdness". He also recorded 19 solo-albums, here’s a list:

He's referenced by world famous bands like R.E.M and The Red Hot Chili Peppers in their songs and Kurt Cobain declared himself many times a big fan of Iggy Pop and the Stooges.
