Nude & Rude : The Best of Iggy Pop With Lou Reed settling into a comfortable, BBC-sponsored retirement, David Bowie lapsing into a deeper coma of pretentious irrelevance by the minute, and Mick Jagger dedicating his life to the sale of Rolling Stones merchandise, it’s good to see that Iggy Pop–rock & roll’s original wild child–is still the consummate punk rocker. It’s remarkable, also, though, that he’s still alive–Nude and Rude… is surely testament to Iggy’s iron constitution. A retrospective covering his career from The Stooges’s eponymous 1969 debut through to 1990’s Brick By Brick, Nude and Rude… can crudely be split into three parts. The Stooges’ grimy “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “Search and Destroy” are magnificent howls of scuzz-rock, “Nightclubbing”, “Lust For Life” and “The Passenger” are fruits of Iggy’s dramatic rebirth in 1977, and, if the later work isn’t as flattering to Iggy’s legend, remember that it’s still better than any of Reed, Bowie or Jagger’s output at the turn of the century. –Louis Pattison
Customer Review: iggy pop the undisputed daddy of em all
this is where it all started
trace any modern day punk bands origins and they all begin with iggy pop.
a true master, without ever needing to take himself too seriously
Customer Review: ‘Best of’ without a duff track….
This album has some superb rocking songs from someone who definitely deserves the term ‘cult hero’. Probably best known nowadays for his collaborations with David Bowie, Iggy has amazed observers by surviving a performing career which looked certain to lead to an early demise (you think Ozzy Osbourne is/was a wild man?)
The early Stooges material doesn’t really do it for me, although it is generally regarded as hugely influential. For me it’s the stuff from ‘China Girl’ (Iggy co-wrote it with Bowie, and I for one prefer his version) onwards which really works here: the run of songs from ‘Kill City’ through ‘Home’ just gets better and better. ‘Real Wild Child’ was originally, incredibly, recorded by Buddy Holly. ‘Cold Metal’ is my favourite, its relentless, immaculate guitar riff just embedding itself into your head. ‘Candy’, where B-52 Kate Pierson shares vocals with Iggy…. This stuff rocks!
If only they’d been able to include his duet with Debbie Harry on ‘Did You Evah?”…
