There will only ever be one Iggy Pop, born April 21, 1947. Known for helping pioneer the punk genre by fronting his rock band, The Stooges, Iggy (born Jim Osterberg Jr.) inspired countless with songs like “Search and Destroy,” “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” “TV Eye” and “Raw Power.” But, when The Stooges broke up for a second and seemingly final time in 1974, Iggy wasn’t done. With help from his friend and spiritual soulmate David Bowie, Iggy launched a solo career that blessed the world with such now-iconic tracks like “Lust For Life,” “The Passenger,” and “China Girl” (which Bowie re-recorded in 1983.)
In the decades that followed, Iggy proved he was more than just rock’s shirtless wildman. Over the next twenty(!) albums, he experimented with new wave, synth-rock, hard rock/heavy metal, post-punk, and the punk sound he helped launch. With bands like Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Siouxsie Sioux citing him as an influence, Iggy’s legacy is undeniable.
