392. Iggy Pop - Lust For Life

Release Date: 1977

Label: RCA

Iggy Pop has been threatening to release a brilliant album for a while, and his finally done here. It is the second of his collaborations with Bowie, and the better. The well known songs are, of course, the title track - taken from the Trainspotting soundtrack - and The Passanger, but the rest of the selection is just as good.

Rating: 10/10

387. Iggy Pop - The Idiot

Release Date: 1977
Label: RCA

In 1977 Iggy Pop and David Bowie were best mates, hanging around Paris and Berlin together. This is the first of two Iggy albums they recorded and released that year, its title influenced by the Dostoyevsky novel, and the music of Kraftwerk and James Brown. Generally speaking it's a high improvement on the Stooges, and there are a number of songs which would rank among Iggy's best - the obvious being 'Nightclubbing'.
