IGGY POP & The Stooges
"The Stooges scraped off the mud, the caked-on blood, stood up and started down the road to ruin again. It wasn't done with mirrors; Fun House is audio verite, a life lived on the edge of a razor, stared at and poked at and feelin' no pain, hose it down and you'll find underneath a musical manifesto that The Psychedelic Furs, Joy Division, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nine Inch Nails pulled pages from.
"God Bless James Osterberg. If he haddena thrown his body on the rolling grenade of convention, rock might never have had an alternative."
Although Iggy Pop is considered to be the "Godfather of Punk", he's never had a top selling album or hit. He seemed too premature for punk rock and too primitive for mainstream. Iggy created his own hurricane in spite of it. There are a number of excellent interviews and documentaries posted at UTube, including a tribute to him for his 60th birthday. Both Fun House and Raw Power are out of print now.Fun House

The world took notice of Iggy Pop with Raw Power, as he shakes off influences from The Doors and Velvet Underground, to makes his mark with onstage performances. Iggy Pop & The Stooges: Raw Power (73)

Actually, Fun House was produced by Don Gallucci (not Bowie). Gallucci was once a member of The Kingsmen ("Louie Louie").
Thank you for this post, a major point in modern music
