He formed the Stooges in Ann Arbor in 1967, with the group releasing three foundational proto-punk albums (The Stooges 1969, Fun House 1970, Raw Power 1973) before initial dissolution in 1974. After his late-1970s collaborative work with David Bowie produced the landmark twin albums The Idiot and Lust for Life (both 1977), he continued a long solo career across multiple labels and configurations. The Stooges reformed from 2003 to 2016 and released two new albums. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Stooges in 2010 and as a solo artist in his own right has received the Polar Music Prize and numerous lifetime achievement honors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIggy Pop's catalog combines proto-punk, punk rock, art rock, alternative rock, glam rock, and Berlin-era electronic-influenced rock with his distinctive baritone vocal delivery and consistently transgressive performance approach.
