In 1969 The Stooges took rock music and reduced it, the first time it had been completely stripped back to basics in its then short life, removing all the fripperies and window dressing of mellotrons, strings, horns, and guitar solos, and placing neanderthal riffs and short thuggish statements at the centre. Partly inspired, as Iggy says, by the crashing sounds at Detroit's machine works. I think there's a reasonable argument that, in the spirit of Davy's recent comment inspiring post following drinks with Drew, this is The Greatest Rock Song Of All Time. Ever! But I'd be happy to listen to arguments for 1969 as well.

I am not getting drawn in again. It is good but of course you're wrong.
