Iggy Pop

Iggy Pop is rock's great survivor. With the Stooges he was a wiry, shirtless force of nature, throwing himself into crowds and smearing himself in peanut butter, and their raw, primal songs gave punk its attitude years before punk existed.

With his career in ruins by the mid-70s, he was rescued by David Bowie, who co-wrote and produced The Idiot, with 'Nightclubbing', and Lust for Life, with 'The Passenger' and the title track. 'Real Wild Child (Wild One)' became the theme for the ABC's Rage, and decades later he was still prowling, making Post Pop Depression with Josh Homme and, in his seventies, the snarling Every Loser.
