The Idiot
Iggy Pop

Probably fairer to consider this as a Bowie/Iggy collaboration album, as it is so far from The Stooges and so close to what Bowie was doing. The only issue there would be that I would expect more from Bowie! It is a good album with plenty of light and shade, and some very odd lyrics, but it just doesn't hit home in the same way as plenty of his other work (both solo and with The Stooges) - so I can't give it full marks. I enjoyed it and found it interesting though, so it came close!
