The Idiot - Iggy Pop
This CD is the birth of goth rock! You would not think that Iggy (and David Bowie his collaborator on this CD) would be the godfather of goth, but IMO he is. This CD is so moody and just so amazing! It is a classic. On a sad trivia note, this is the album that was on the turntable when Ian Curtis (the singer for Joy Division) hung himself.

One day some one might ask you, "hey, what is Iggy Pop?" and if you have listened to this collection of Iggy classics your reply might look something like this--your jaw will probably drop to the floor, your eyes will roll back into your head, and you'll most likely loose consciousness before hitting the ground. Yeah, something like that. my favorite trax Bang Bang I'm Bored I Snub You Five Foot One Girls New Values

One of the most subversive cover designs I've come across. Iggy, is a rebel, he's kind of dangerous, when you listen to Iggy, you never know what will happen to you--sex, excess, convolutions, and what about the photo on the cover... One of the most subversive cover designs I've come across. Iggy, is a rebel, he's kind of dangerous, when you listen to Iggy, you never know what will happen to you--sex, excess, convolutions, and what about the photo on the cover, I can only imagine what was happening below the neck line. Anyway. I'm sure it's a good collection, but don't blame me if you wind up naked in some strange place with a phone number written across your dizzy forehead--buddy.

It's punk, it's in your face, it's iggy. And it's freaking good. At first I thought it was going to be a bit more loud, the typical garage-sound to it, but that wasn't the case.

At first I thought it was going to be a bit more loud, the typical garage-sound to it, but that wasn't the case. The lyrics are pretty raw and some of them just straight fowardly painfull (just listen to "Turn blue", goddamn that shit is heavy), you just kind of fall in love with the whole sincerity of it. There are no cover ups, no bullshit, just him and his music. (Note: Bowie collaborated on the album and you can definetly hear it!)

This is a great collection of songs from an amazing movie. It starts out of "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop, the jumps to Eno, Primal Scream (a great Glaswegian band), New Order, Blur, Lou Reed, Pulp, Underworld and Damon Albarn (late of Blur, soon to be of Gorillaz and The Good The Bad and The Queen). Terrific compilation of great music.

Whose production is the best, it's hard to say, but Iggy's does put the raw back in Raw Power. An amazing punk album no matter what, this album defines the band and a sliver of time in two great men's careers.

The fun house was the name for the communal house they shared during the time, but I'm not so sure how fun those nights really must have been. Great, distilled punk from one of the best bands there was.

From Sweden and with a cast of guests that's kickass, from Mad Cobra, to Iggy Pop, via Neneh Cherry. Seriously infectious, you'll find yourself rockin' out to it in your car on a warm summer's day. Definitely a nice day mix, and the songs cover such a range that it doesn't get old anytime fast. (P.S. They actually perform live in those bear heads. How crazy is that?!)
