TOP 5: IGGY ALBUMS

Idiot
Lust For Life
New Values
Zombie Birdhouse
Live San Diego '78 (Kill City should'nt count as 'solo')

The Idiot
Lust For Life
New Values
Soldier
TV Eye Live

If you grew up going to parties dancing to these records then American Caeser and Skull Ring for instance are verging on the embarassing. But i think its a generational thing, Iggy was always so smart and cool in 1980, I think its always hard for people from my generation to see him when he later was sucking up to the frat boy audience which he despised so much when he was younger, but iggy knows, ya gotta pay the bills!

"Iggy you got a biggie" LOL !!!

Kill City
The Idiot
New Values
Lust Fir Life
TV Eye Live

Ok here I go...

1. Kill City(One of the most complete album ever made)
2. Lust for Life(Ditto)
3. The Idiot(Ditto)
4. Party(Most underrated solo-album ever. Yup, I know the album sounds like the commercial "I need money quick" type of album, but almost every song is catchy and make me in mood, "Rock'n roll party" especially.)
5. Brick by brick

Nice to be here by the way! My first post here... Glad to see so many digital people with such a great taste

Btw, almost nothing separates the top 3.

1) Idiot
2) Lust For Life
3) Blah Blah Blah
4) Kill City
5) TV Eye Live

Lot of new members joined. Nice. Welcome!

Yeah Sway, there is a new album > Préliminaires

Preliminaires is a great record, some of Iggy best songwriting in a long time. Makes me very positive for any writing with JW coming up, could be a great record results

Agree. Iggy has a great voice, but it's rarely been visible on most albums. Preliminaries and Brick by Brick is are exceptions.. He sounds kind of like Leonard Cohen(or the other way around).

First post!

1. Kill City
2. New Values
3. Lust for Life
4. Soldier
5. The Idiot

everything later is crap - especially the Steve Jones/Iggy team up album. Terrible, just terrible

My 5 favourite non Stooges Iggy would be:

1. New Values
2. Blah Blah Blah
3. The Idiot
4. Lust
5. Brick By Brick

1. Kill City
2. Lust For Life
3. New Values
4. The Idiot
5. Hippodrome

If "Kill City" is not considered a solo album, then bump everything up one and make Wild Animal #5.

1. New Values
2. Kill City
3. Lust for Life
4. Soldier
5. American Caesar

- Avenue B
- Lust for life
- American caesar (my first)
- Blah Blah Blah
- The Idiot

1 kill city
2 the idiot
3 tv eye live
4 late 70's live recording
5 lust for life

I'm currently listening to all Iggy's solo albums in order. I haven't listened to most of them in YEARS (since I went on an Iggy binge and grabbed them all up on vinyl). However, I've only done the first three so far. And I have never heard NAUGHTY LITTLE DOGGIE (just bought it used), BEAT 'EM UP, SKULL RING or PRELIMINAIRES. With that in mind, here's my Top 5 as I can recall them (in release order):

1. THE IDIOT
2. LUST FOR LIFE
3. KILL CITY
4. BRICK BY BRICK
5. AMERICAN CAESAR

Peace.

1. Beat em'up
2. Skull Ring
3. Brick by Brick
4. Lust For Life
5. New Values

1. New Values
2. Lust for life
3. Avenue B
4. The Idiot
5. Brick by Brick

1. Lust for Life
2. New Values
3. Brick by Brick
4. The Idiot
5. Preliminaries

Honorable Mentions go to:
Zombie Birdhouse
American Caesar
Soldier
Kill City
and T.V. Eye Live 1977

Dishonorable mention goes to:
Party (exc. Bang Bang, Pumpin' for Jill, Houston is Hot Tonight, and the kickass tour for the album)
Avenue B (exc. the title track, Corruption, and the cover of Shakin' All Over)
The Trolls section of Skull Ring
and Naughty Little Doggie (exc. To Belong and I Wanna Live)

may i change my top 5?

it would go like this:

1-lust for life
2-the idiot
3-soldier
4-party (yes, i like it, so what?)
5-new values

1. Brick By Brick
2. American Caesar
3. Blah Blah Blah
4. Instinct
5. The Idiot or maybe Naughty Little Doggie.

1986 - 1996 period was the best time from Iggy's solo career, in my opinion.

1. Instinct
2. Live At The Channel (1988 promo LP)
3. Avenue B
4. Kill City
5. New Values

1. Lust for Life
2. The Idiot
3. Blah Blah Blah
4.Kill City
5.Preliminaires


I actually haven't heard complete Brick by Brick or American Ceasar, the must be good...

1. The Idiot
2. New Values
3. Lust for Life
4. Kill City
5. Zombie Birdhouse

Zombie's in there partly because that tour was the first time I saw an Ig show so good memories.

The Idiot
Lust For Life
New Values
Preliminaires
Avenue B
