He began to gain real commercial success in the '80s, and the with the advent of grunge in the '90s, he became more popular than ever. The 2000s saw Iggy's critical stature rise even higher, with the reformation of the Stooges and their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Of course, Iggy refused to be pinned down, following the Stooges reunion album The Weirdness with Preliminaires, a jazz-influenced solo album and a true departure for him.
