The self-titled debut album "The Stooges". It was released in August 1969 and peaked at number 106 on the Billboard album charts. Two songs, "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "1969", were released as singles.
Todays tune "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is one of those singles. Its memorable riff, based on the classic three chords (G, F# and E) and it's played continuously throughout the song. Enjoy!
