The Stooges' self-titled album, remixed by John Cale, showcases a raw and intense sound that became a blueprint for punk rock. Tracks like "1969" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" are iconic for their rebellious energy and stripped-down, gritty instrumentation. With longer, experimental pieces like "We Will Fall," the album pushes boundaries and captures the band's fearless approach to music-making, cementing their place as pioneers of the punk rock genre.
