iggy pop recommendation
i think at least one or two of my readers still remember "rock and roll" type music.
iggy pop songs that i like:
"The Passenger" (even though it has been used in like 90 commercials now)
"The Horse Song". This song came up during the drive home last night while the iPod was on random shuffle. Awesome. I want more!
Based on those two songs, can anyone recommend an Iggy Pop album that I should check out?

THE IDIOT (includes "China Girl" and "Nightclubbing") and LUST FOR LIFE (from whence comes "the Passenger" as well as the absurdly overplayed title track). both are from Iggy's "Bowie period". the Stooges albums are good, but very different. as for later stuff, past a certain point Iggy becomes, if not quite a parody of himself, at least Iggy™ and all the music is kinda obvious reflections of the character (or caricature) he's become.

No, but I can send you an mp3 cover of The Passenger in Portuguese if you want ...

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
