Iggy would be dead from smack if Bowie never met him, and we wouldn't have The Idiot or Lust for Life. And that would be a shame.

funhouse is my favorite still but i mean come on. raw power kicks the shit out of 90% of the records being released now.

Cantankerous · 08.16.2007, 01:22 AM

whatever. everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

krastian · 08.16.2007, 01:28 AM

Gimme me danger little stranger, let me feeeeel your diseeease.

Raw Power has always been my favorite Stooges......fuck.

Cantankerous · 08.16.2007, 01:37 AM

you can't beat 1970 though.

krastian · 08.16.2007, 01:46 AM

All 3 are fucking great.....the self titled is very close behind Raw Power for me. Then there is Fun House which is rediculously good as well. It is a pretty tough Holy Trinity to defeat.

as far as raw power, i really like some of it, but for the most part i find myself constantly swichtching tracks.

and come to think off it, it does kinda seem as if when bowie left the pictures, iggy's music really started to suck. but that doesnt change my opinoin on anything...i prefer thinking of iggy without the influence of bowie. i do think bowie envisioned iggy as being able to do something he couldnt do himself (which, is true...iggy has that street vibe that most art schoolers like bowie cant really pull off to well) < but it seems like as soon as bowie came into the picure, iggy lost alot of that sort of street cred.

maybe im just stupid...haha...i probally am but whatever.

i usually skip "we will fall" on the s/t... "ann" is my favorite from that one.
1970 is still really, really hard to beat.

Are you quoting Toilet & Bowels again?

I love Bowie till Scary Monsters. I can do without the rest that came out after those records, save for the odd song. I care little about the impact that he's had on the world, because he's only influential on musicians, not exactly the world as a whole.

gmku · 08.16.2007, 06:34 AM

I love Bowie. I even like the Let's Dance album, which most fans hate. If you slow down "China Girl" on a turntable with adjustable speed, it's like Iggy on ludes.

But yeah, Bowie = good.

Did you know that some of the drumming on that song was created by Brian Eno (or was it Robert Fripp?) by hitting an ashtray with a pen?

pbradley · 08.16.2007, 07:05 AM

I think all of Fripp's contribution was the weird prolonged feedback.

Technically speaking that's not feedback but Fripp playing the guitar with an E-Bow.

Mr Bowie will always have a warm and fuzzy place in my heart.
A mutual love for 'Life on Mars' was one of the main things that broke the ice between myself and a certain 17 year old beauty named Carol.
We've been together for over 30 years now, with a son, a grandson and another on the way.
Bowie can do no wrong in my eyes (although he was skating on thin ice with that Tin Machine nonsense)
