 Superb
One of the best albums I've heard - never get tired of listening. Every track is good and the Bowie/Pop combo is genius.

 Fall In Love With The Ig.....
After the sorrowful aura that surrounded "The Idiot", this next album is the direct opposite. It is uplifting, funny and above all memorable. Pop/Bowie had reached a creative zenith with this set. I have owned a copy for thirty years, and still sounds as glorious as it did on its' initial release. Every track is magnificent, whether it is the rampaging "Lust For Life" which was used in the iconic opening moments of the film "Trainspotting" or "Success" with its' amusing call and response chorus of " I'm gonna hop like a frog !" How many performers would dare to sing a lyric like that ? Then again, who would have a song about wanting to be a dog ? As for "The Passenger", it can still pack a dance floor in the 21st Century. Easily the best tribute to Jim Morrison, Pop's vocal is simply magnificent and along with "Gimme Danger", one of his finest songs. Interesting to note, it is the one track he did not write with DB. However, it is the last track which is the most neglected Pop/Bowie gem, "Fall In Love With Me". Why has this song not been covered by other artists ? Perhaps The Artic Monkeys should check it out. I also agree with other comments below as to why there aren't more reviews of this seminal album....

 Iggy Rocks!
I also am suprised to not see MANY reviews here. Iggy kicks ass. The Godfather of punk. He was as vital to rock and roll as the Beatles, Stones, and Zeppelin and probably inspired more rock artists than any of them. "Lust For Life" and "The Passenger" are rock classics still played and loved 25 years later. Sixteen, Neighborhood Threat, and Some Weird Sin are great as well. A Rock Icon who influenced even the biggest rock gods like Bowie, who admired Iggy so much he wanted to play with him even just as a side musician (piano, sax) and cover his tune's (China Girl). Even has Soupy Sales' son's for a rhythm section (who later joined Bowie to form Tin Machine in the 90's). The Stooges were Iggy at his best, but his solo career was right up there as well...better than 98% of the crap you here on the radio.
