Iggy Pop
There's a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk -- every single punk band of the past and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Pop and his late-'60s/early-'70s band, the Stooges. Born on April 21, 1947, in Muskegon, MI, James Newell Osterberg was raised by his parents in a trailer park close to Ann Arbor, in nearby Ypsilanti. Intrigued by rock & roll (as well as such non-musical, monotonous, and mechanical sounds as his father's electric razor and the local automobile assembly plants in Detroit), {$Osterbe...[more]

On The Idiot, Iggy Pop looked deep inside himself, trying to figure out how his life and his art had gone wrong in the past. But on Lust for Life, released less than a year later, Iggy decided it was time to kick up his heels, as he traded in the mid-tempo introspection of his first album and began rocking hard again. Musically, Lust for Life is a more aggressive set than The Idiot, largely thanks to drummer Hunt Sales and his bassist brother Tony Sales. The Sales' proved they were a [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. If there's ever been an album that lives up to its title, this is it -- Iggy and the Stooges' apocalyptic, high-octane bombshell, Raw Power! At times, this searing, end-of-the-world death platter -- home to such proto-punk frontal assaults as 'Search and Destroy,' 'Shake Appeal,' and 'Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell' -- even threatens to surpass its beyond-appropriate moniker. Although this incarnation of The Stooges imploded not long after its release, Raw Power became the LP [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. An absolute classic on 180g vinyl! Originally released in 1977, this was the first album Iggy Pop made after the dissolution of the Stooges, several jailings and a self-imposed stay in a mental institution. Produced by David Bowie, and including music written almost entirely by him, this is Iggy's most introspective and heavy work. Much more mechanical than the sleazy proto-punk of the Stooges, The Idiot was a huge influence on the post-punk sound of folks like Joy Division and Magazine [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Reissued on 180g vinyl! Released less than a year after The Idiot, Lust for Life is a return to the sloppy, sleazy, blues-y, swagger of the Stooges. Though the record is again produced by David Bowie, he takes much more of a backseat musically, allowing for Iggy Pop to take center stage in his return to form. His best solo album and an absolute classic from this legend.

Raw Power, the brutal third album that closed the Stooges' career and fueled the beginning of punk rock, a true milestone, bur ... it wasn't the album the Stooges wanted you to hear! Already toned down from still more murderous demos, the album delivered by the Stooges put fear in the hearts of record execs, who in turn put David Bowie in the studio to redo the whole [ read more ]

In 1976, the Stooges had been gone for two years, and Iggy Pop had developed a notorious reputation as one of rock & roll's most spectacular waste cases. After a self-imposed stay in a mental hospital, a significantly more functional Iggy was desperate to prove he could hold down a career in music, and he was given another chance by his longtime ally, David Bowie. Bowie co-wrote a batch of new songs with Iggy, put together a band, and produced The Idiot, which took Iggy in a new dire [ read more ]

Iggy Pop takes on the language of romance, putting a decidedly French twist on his new album Preliminaires. Produced by longtime collaborator Hal Cragin (They Might Be Giants, Sarah Mclachlan, Rufus Wanwright), Preliminaires focuses more on jazz arrangements and Iggy's distinctive, rich baritone. He even sings in French, performing a cover of the jazz standard "Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)," which was originally made famous by French legends Yves Montand and Edith Piaf.
