🎶 Album #1: Lust for Life – Iggy Pop (1977) We kicked things off with a bang—and a Bowie. Lust for Life isn’t just an album; it’s a collision of raw punk energy, existential dread, and glam-soaked swagger. Iggy Pop had cleaned up (for a minute), Bowie was producing in Berlin, and together they created something electric and uneasy. ✨ Highlights + Hot Takes: • Lust for Life opens with that drumbeat and feels like a rebirth by force—manic, pulsing, and unrelenting. • The Passenger still slaps. Eternal. Cool. Untouchable. Feels like watching your life unfold from the backseat. • Success is a sarcastic party anthem, all sneer and cheer, like Iggy’s flipping off the industry with a grin. • Turn Blue drags us into the void—spoken word, despair, slow bleed. A descent. • Neighborhood Threat stalks the alleyways—tense and twitchy with Bowie lurking in the background. • Fall in Love with Me ends the album with a murmur, not a bang. It’s seductive, creepy, and quietly devastating. 📀 This isn’t just proto-punk—it’s a survival album. Iggy clawing his way out, one track at a time.
