Oh dear. Really wish there were separate ballots for Stooges & solo... I love a lot of the Iggy & Bowie albums and New Values, but not more than most of the Stooges output.

Listening to Iggy Pop and James Williamson 'Kill City'. I don't know how Stooges fans fell about it but I love that album, Kill City, Sell Your Love, I Got Nothing.... I think it might be my favorite of his post-stooges work, hell I think this might even be my favorite Rolling Stones album that isn't actually by the Rolling Stones.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 24 September 2016 18:50 (seven years ago) link
Shit listening to New Values now and I take that back... Iggy's solo work is amazing. AMAZING! Johnny Fever jokes but I actually even like a couple of tracks from Preliminares and Apres, but yeah those are not good.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 24 September 2016 19:25 (seven years ago) link
Kill City benefited more from remastering than any other album I can think of. Maybe the 1990s Virgin Records reissue of Exile on Main St. And yeah, you're right, it sounds like a Stones album.
― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Saturday, 24 September 2016 20:24 (seven years ago) link
kill city yea some days i think this is my favourite thing of his at least after gorging on the stooges first three for so long it has got more play than them in last few years
― peanutbuttereverysingleday, Saturday, 24 September 2016 22:58 (seven years ago) link
i guess also there have also been a few scattered singles which are not on iggy albums which i suppose are eligible
― peanutbuttereverysingleday, Saturday, 24 September 2016 22:59 (seven years ago) link
I've been promoting the Kill City tracks for a bazillion years, and yes it is one of the best Stones Albums ever. Lucky Monkeys also worthy of mention. The official Kill City version goes a little longer than an earlier bootleg version, and this is being ultra picky, but the older version that fades during the outro is better. Trying to find a version on youtube...
― dlp9001, Saturday, 24 September 2016 23:13 (seven years ago) link
Ok, yeah: this is the one I'd call the definitive version. My favorite Iggy related album period. Sequencing is amazing, and a bunch of the versions are better than any others that I've heard.

I guess the version of Kill City in spotify is the remasterized one? I'm digging back the iggy pop albums due to this poll but I can't get past this album, I''m floored at how good it is, I don't understand the naysayers. I know I'm wrong but right now it sounds even better than fun house or raw power. There's a certain charm to it, the lyrics are some of Iggy's best nut the whole thing has a very effortless and cynical 'fuck you' vibe. It's really addictive.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 25 September 2016 06:06 (seven years ago) link
But not nut ha
I like basically everything from the original Stooges record up through Blah Blah Blah, then I get more discerning.
Always thought it was funny how the guitars on "Wild America" from American Caesar sound like Thurston & Lee, but neither of them are involved in any way.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 25 September 2016 06:32 (seven years ago) link
Ok, of the two versions on Spotify, the OOP version is better. I usually hate hair-splitting about releases, but the I Got A Right/Kill City tracks are some of the best songs by one of the best rock artists in the history of the medium, so it's worth making the effort. The Kill City remaster cleans things up too much, has a worse ending (the fade out for Lucky Monkeys on I Got A Right is still the best), etc. One of the really rare cases where seeking out a particular version of the album is worth the trouble. I'm still going with the Invasion/Revenge version, which isn't on youtube as best I can tell. Unfortunately that means spending $20+ on a used vinyl copy. It's worth it.
― dlp9001, Monday, 26 September 2016 02:07 (seven years ago) link
Only two ballots so far but they're wildly different. 30 different tracks have votes, which means they only agreed on 10 out of 40. I like how this is shaping up.

There's a great live clip of "Five Foot One" (off the horribly produced but still fuckin awesome New Values) where Iggy clocks himself in the mouth with his mic and then does the interview afterwards smiling and bleeding. My #1 Iggy moment.

The Idiot and Lust For Life are essential albums and I recommend you listen to both in full. New Values has its moments - 'I'm Bored' in particular is a classic.
I won't be voting for anything beyond 1979.

Spinning New Values for the first time in memory. Still mostly fuckin awesome, but ... I wonder if Iggy, when the subject of "African Man" comes up, just grins sheepishly & says "cocaine's a hell of a drug."

Repo Man is so good. Also very fond of "Dog Food" and "Endless Sea" (both on regular albums) for their use on the soundtrack of Dogs In Space.
I'd forgotten that I had a very, very brief fling with the actress in this video (I didn't forget the fling, I forgot the video). I won't be voting for the song. I hope she got to actually meet Iggy, as it's hard to tell from the video.

that vid reminds me of seeing a song Iggy was working on when we were hanging out with him (ca. ~ 1984, when Bowie's "china girl" was in the charts). he was working on a tune that had working title "stars and stripes". i've always wondered if that ever turned into anything concrete.

Respectfully disagree. Original is a sludgy lo fi Stones Album (I think the sludgy lo-fi Stones Album "Exile" is considered one of their best). The remaster just sounds fake, vocals too forward, some bad edits, etc. I suppose it probably comes down to taste and what you heard first.
― dlp9001, Sunday, 9 October 2016 17:14 (seven years ago) link
Also, looking at songs left off of the "official" version, Gimme Some Skin, Tight Pants, Sick of You all add a lot to the sequence, and the replacements don't really thrill me.
