The Stooges is the debut studio album by American rock band The Stooges, released on August 5, 1969 by Elektra Records. Considered a landmark proto-punk release, the album peaked at number 106 on the US Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The tracks I Wanna Be Your Dog and 1969 were released as singles; 1969 was featured on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs" at number 35.

In 2020, it was ranked number 488 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. For their first album, The Stooges had intended to record seven songs: I'm Sick, Asthma Attack, Dance Of The Romance / Goodbye Bozos, No Fun, I Wanna Be Your Dog and 1969. I’m Sick was a bolero that Iggy Pop had written on a Wurlitzer electronic piano and when performed live he would flop around on the stage going, I’m sick! I’m siiiick! I’m sick! Blah!.

Asthma Attack was a completely different composition than the version of the song utilizing the same song title that appears on the album reissue. According to Iggy Pop, "Asthma Attack was a structured piece of repetitive descending chording that sounded a lot like Pink Floyd psychedelic space rock song Interstellar Overdrive".

He elaborates further, "And it was B major, A major, G major, & E major like a Who thing – and then I would wheeze and say, 'asthma attack.'" Dance Of The Romance / Goodbye Bozos was an early version of what became known as Little Doll without the Ron Asheton guitar audio feedback cacophony known as Goodbye Bozos that originally ended the Psychedelic Stooges live performances of 1968.
