- 'The Passenger' From: 'Lust For Life' One of the key tracks from 'Lust For Life,' 'The Passenger' is a dark brooding travelogue.The music sounds like the audio equivalent of the ride the lyrics describe.
- 'Kill City' From: 'Kill City' (1977) After the Stooges fell apart in 1974, Pop reconvened with guitarist James Williamson trying to salvage a career. The duo began work on a new batch of songs that would ultimately make up the 'Kill City' album, though after recording wrapped up in 1975, no one was interested so the tapes sat for a couple years until the legendary L.A.
- 'Funtime' From: 'The Idiot' (1977) 'The Idiot' was the first musical pairing of Iggy Pop with friend David Bowie. True, Bowie had co-produced the Stooges' 'Raw Power' LP, but this was the first time the two worked together to create music and it certainly proved an interesting pairing, resulting in two of Iggy's finest albums ('The Idiot' and 'Lust For Life').

- MASS PRODUCTION (The Idiot, 1977) Again, this song gets into the industrial thing, and it’s a very dirgy song, but the lyrics about him driving along and all the things he sees – it’s pretty heavy.
- SISTER MIDNIGHT (The Idiot, 1977) This is the darker side of me talking. It’s very Doorsy, and it has everything that a song by The Doors would have in it.
- LOCO MOSQUITO (Soldier, 1980) I love the whole Soldieralbum, but Loco Mosquitoreally starts it off. It’s the weirdest song, and most people probably wouldn’t pick this one at all, let alone so high up, but there’s something so joyous and weird about it, it kind of feels like a weird dream.
- FUNTIME (TV Eye Live 1977, 1978) This is kind of cheating because this song is on a live album that does have some Stooges tracks on it, but Funtimewas taken off The Idiot, and I have to pick a song off TV Eye Livebecause this was the tour that he had Bowie on.

Apr 21, 2021 · Whilst, very ‘80s, it is classic Pop. Confrontational and anthemic, featuring sarcastic laughs that pan in your left ear. Sonically, it is reminiscent of the stance Billy Idol would take in the not too distant future.
