Originally released in 1977, this was the first album IGGY POP made after the dissolution of THE STOOGES, several jailings and a self-imposed stay in a mental institution. Produced by DAVID BOWIE, and including music written almost entirely by him, this is Iggy’s most introspective and heavy work. Much more mechanical than the sleazy proto-punk of the Stooges, The Idiot was a huge influence on the post-punk sound of folks like Joy Division and Magazine. An absolute classic.
