Pop launched his solo career in 1977 with the David Bowie-produced The Idiot, which contained an early version of the eventual Bowie hit "China Girl." Less than a year later, Pop served up his first real stab at mainstream accessibility with Lust For Life, which featured a title track that has gone on to fame in numerous films and commercials. Following an erratic few years of primitive recordings, wild proto-punk shows and deep heroin addiction, Iggy and the Stooges disbanded, but left behind a legacy that would influence many bands that followed.
The former James Osterberg's path to stardom (or at least rock excess) started in Ann Arbor, Mich., as part of the Stooges, progenitors of punk and purveyors of rock's dark side of freewheeling drugs and anarchic abandon. Yep, you'll remember when hair was really that big, when drums were that up front in the mix, when video was young(er) and so were you.īy the time Iggy Pop released his 1990 album Brick By Brick, he'd already gone through a lifetime's worth of career and personal ups and downs. We're not here to judge, we just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Whichever category you fall into, each week we'll feature a video that's possibly been collecting dust when what it really deserves is a fresh look. For some, these videos are forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery.
