This 17 track compilation is a perfect introduction to the raw power of Iggy Pop!
By now we've all seen that adrenalized chase scene from Trainspotting. A visceral piece of tub.thumping, courtesy of the inimitable Mr Pop, provided the perfect soundtrack to the mad screen hedonism.
Along with Detroit's own MC5, the Stooges were a blueprint for all things rock'n'roll. A raw, frequently underproduced live sound being the trademark of both bands early in their careers.
This 17 track compilation highlights the more obvious tracks from his illustrious career, taking in material from the late 60's to early 90's. From his classic years with the Stooges [I Wanna Be Your Dog, Search + Destroy], through the Bowie years [Nightclubbing, China Girl, Lust For Life] to his 80's cod.metal riff.o.rama [Cold Metal, Home] this is a perfect introduction to the raw power of Iggy Pop.
If you need your attitude adjustment any more serious, you'll have to check the first 2 Stooges albums
