James Newell Osterberg, Jr. (born on April 21, 1947 in Muskegon, Michigan), better known by his stage name Iggy Pop, is an American punk rock singer and occasional actor. Pop is one of the most important innovators of punk rock. Sometimes referred to as “the Godfather of punk” and “the Rock Iguana”, he is widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of rock.
Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s band that featured brothers Ron and Scott Asheton and Dave Alexander and was highly influential in the development of hard rock. The debut album was produced by the Velvet Underground’s John Cale. The band’s “
I Wanna Be Your Dog” is a garage punk standard.
The Stooges were infamous for performances in which Pop leapt off the stage (hence, the “stage dive”), smeared raw meat or peanut butter over his chest and cut himself with broken bottles. A glimpse of the vibrating intensity of Iggy live can be seen in the Ramones movie “End of the Century.” Guitarist James Williamson became a key collaborator, a partnership documented on the 1978 album Kill City.
In 25 years as a solo artist, Pop’s best-known songs have included the thumpingLust For Life, to be heard on the soundtrack of the find-a-vein, shoot-it-up movie Trainspotting, I’m Bored and The Passenger (the latter based on a poem written by Jim Morrison). David Bowie played a key role in reinvigorating Pop’s post-Stooges career and was a collaborator on the albums Lust For Life and The Idiot.

not too sure which i prefer, the stooges or iggy's solo stuff..i think both have an undeniable influence on everything that came after it, with the first stooges record pretty much helping garage bands realise their potential...his solo stuff is so fucking good though, i think i'm inclined to say i prefer him on his own, just for the tracks nightclubbing and mass production alone.
