Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
 

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

Personnel: Iggy Pop (vocals); Carlos Alomar, Ricky Gardiner (guitar); David Bowie (piano); Tony Sales (bass); Hunt Sales (drums). Recorded at Hansa Tonstusios, Berlin, Germany. Iggy and Bowie at the height of their respective powers presented a formidable artistic engine, and Lust For Life sees them working up a full head of steam. Two songs will need little introduction - 'Lust For Life' and 'The Passenger' are as intrinsic to the tapestry of 70s rock music as sundry Beatles efforts were to the previous decade (their influence on 90s film soundtracks is a testament to their durability). Those monolithic jukebox favourites aside, listeners may also find space in their hearts for the swaggering 'Neighbourhood Threat' (shades of the Stooges, without the musical clatter) and the disquieting 'Turn Blue', written from the viewpoint of an overdosing junkie.

Pros Two of his best songs and that cool Berlin vibe that permeated Bowie's work.
Cons Pretty short and kind of shoddy towards the end. As much Bowie's as Iggy's.
Recommended it? Yes

Even though I wouldn't describe myself as much of an Iggy Pop enthusiast, you'd likely hear me recommending his first two solo albums to people at the bar over anything else he's done. I think just about anybody familiar with post-punk and New Wave knows the significance of The Idiot and Lust For... Read full review »

Pros Excellent Album-Rock from the Godfather of Proto-Punk. Loose production by David Bowie.
Cons 'Turn Blue' has its truly questionable moments.
Recommended it? Yes

Iggy Pop was born, James Jewel Osterberg in Ypsilanti, Michigan, in late April of 1947 and raised in a small trailer with his father, Newell, an English man who believed 'It was the only way to live'. Today, he resides happily, in beautiful Miami Beach. One might say he's been quite humbled... Read full review »

Pros Fun, cocky and humble all at the same time. A great Rock n Roll album.
Cons The production is a little too disco-era Berlin.
Recommended it? Yes

In 1977 Iggy Pop released his first solo album since leaving The Stooges, THE IDIOT, which was an introspective mid-tempo dirge during which Pop examined his life and his art with an overly critical eye.
