The Idiot is proto-post-punk, gothic, industrial; it's such a pivotal, significant record. I disagree with any claim that it sounds dated and the fact that it didn't sound like Iggy didn't bother me in the least. In fact, when Lust for LIfe came out I was bitterly disappointed it didn't sound like The Idiot II (I've since gained a begrudging respect for it). Every song is a winner, the ambiance and the atmosphere are profound, Iggy is in the best voice of his career, and Bowie's production is probably as good as it ever got. I imprinted on this record. I can't love it enough. Eighteen when this came out, I loved it from the start. The Idiot is proto-post-punk, gothic, industrial; it’s such a pivotal, significant record.

It's not very often when a frontman like that comes along, however I'm proud to say I found one :) http://www.myspace.com/programthedead They do a great Doors cover :) Thanks for your contribution...viva la rock n' roll!!
