    Iggy Pop (born James Newell "Jim" Osterberg, Jr.; April 21, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and occasional actor.[1] He is considered an influential innovator of punk rock, hard rock, and other styles of rock music.[1] Pop began calling himself "Iggy" after his first band in high school (for which he was drummer), The Iguanas.
    
    Iggy was lead singer/songwriter of influential protopunk/glam rock band The Stooges and became known for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics
    
    Pop's popularity has ebbed and flowed throughout the course of his subsequent solo career. His best-known solo songs include "Lust for Life", the Top 40 hits "Real Wild Child" and "Candy" (with vocalist Kate Pierson of The B-52's),[2] "China Girl" (co-written with and famously covered by David Bowie), and "The Passenger".

    What can be said about the unstoppable Lust For Life album? It's one of Iggy's best solo albums, him and David Bowie did it in eight days in West Germany weeks after The Idiot landed in store shelves, and there's not a bum song in the bunch. If RCA hadn't dropped the ball and stopped promoting this album (and everyone else on the RCA roster at the time) in 1977 in favor of mass-repressing the entire Elvis Presley discography in the wake of his death, this album would have been a big hit a lot sooner than the title track's fortunate inclusion on the Trainspotting soundtrack made it. No matter... after he made this album, Iggy was pretty much unstoppable creatively.

They're also why this is Iggy's best solo album--which also includes the ominously upbeat "The Passenger," with its hilariously ennui-filled, sing-along chorus ("La la la la la la la la la..."). As with Pop's first solo album, The Idiot, David Bowie has his hands all over the proceedings (if not somewhere else as well) as the producer, songwriter, and general overseer of Iggy the popstar. The record reached 28 on the U.K. charts. Of course, as the jagged, dark guitars on "Sixteen" and "Neighborhood Threat" make clear, Iggy's version of pop music is anything but conventional, and anything but bland. "Some Weird Sin" ("That's what I want...") could have been Iggy's theme song in 1977, heavy with innuendo and a dangerous joie de vivre. --Percy Keegan
