Iggy Pop "The Idiot" (1977) album.

The sessions for the album began before the recording of Bowie's Low (1977); thus, The Idiot has been called the unofficial beginning of Bowie's Berlin period.

In 1976, the Stooges had been gone for two years, and Iggy Pop had developed a notorious reputation as one of rock & roll's most spectacular waste cases. After a self-imposed stay in a mental hospital, a significantly more functional Iggy was desperate to prove he could hold down a career in music, and he was given another chance by his longtime ally, David Bowie.

What would you expect from an ex-Stooge and an iconic musical chameleon" For fans of either artist, the predictability of what their first album-length collaboration would sound like was surely far from anything like the revolutionary post-punk dirge of The Idiot. The 1977 record didn’t sound like the hard-rocking, punk precursor of The Stooges sound, nor did it resemble Bowie’s alien-infused glam rock.
