Iggy Pop- if you know who he is, you know how important someone can be musically without really being a star. He's certainly a star to me, but sadly, he's not as well known as he should be. Over the years he has recorded some of my favorite songs. Perhaps the best known is Candy, sung with a member of the B-52s, and of course he did the title track for Repo Man (a movie that also should be better known.) He's still performing and doesn't seem to age. Here are a few songs you might find interesting.
Lust For Life- a punk anthem, a philosophy, and a fun song.
Repo Man- played as an instrumental over the opening titles of the movie, the song has some great lines.
Candy- a bit of a departure for him, but still cool.
Now I Wanna Be Your Dog- as close to a love song as he gets. Okay, Candy is closer...
