Highlights include 'Bang Bang,' 'I Need More,' 'I'm Bored,' 'New Values' and 'Five Foot One.' During this period, Iggy was associated with Arista Records, marking a departure from his raw punk roots into new wave experimentation. Iggy Pop became a legend because of his contributions made during this period in his career. This is a great example at those times.

Review: Now approaching a half-century of artistic life as the closest we have to a living personification of rock 'n' roll, Iggy Pop nonetheless also continues to carry himself with more class and style than most any lifer that springs to mind. Yet it has to be said that few were expecting the cadaverous king to make his greatest album for thirty of those years, and this is what 'Post Pop Depression' his collaboration with a dream team involving luminaries such as Josh Homme, Dean Fertita and The Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders is exactly that - a wry, restrained and ice-cool meditation on carnality and mortality without cliche or rehash, this album is all primal satisfaction and righteous revelation.

Review: Iggy Pop is now well known by a whole new generation for his gravelly drawls and superb selections on his own BBC Radio 6 music show. The Detroit rocker might have come to prominence initially decades ago but this new album shows he hasn't lost his touch. Every Loser includes his recent single 'Frenzy' featuring contributions from the likes of Watt, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith, and others and comes just three years after his last LP, Free. Says the man himself of this one, "The players are guys I've known since they were kids, and the music will beat the shit out of you." He's not wrong.

Review: Recorded in 1975 after the disintegration of The Stooges and eventually released, albeit in altered form, in 1977, the album saw Iggy recording his vocal contributions at weekends, on leave from the mental institution at which he was recovering from heroin addiction. With the addition of pianos, acoustic guitars and saxophones to the musical palate it's a different beast from the raw power - and Raw Power - of the Stooges, a bridge between his garage rock roots and the classier pop offerings he'd soon become known for. A fascinating document, regardless, it's well worth a listen.
