1448 - Iggy Pop Lust For Life 1977

"Lust for Life" is a 1977 album by Iggy Pop, his second solo release and his second collaboration with David Bowie, following "The Idiot" earlier in the year. According to Iggy Pop, Bowie's celebrated riff on "Lust for Life" was inspired by the morse code opening to the American Forces Network News in Berlin. At various points in the song the melody is doubled by the entire band; in Carlos Alomar's words, "You can’t play a counter-rhythm to that, you just had to follow". Joy Division and New Order drummer Stephen Morris declared, "On Lust For Life the drums sound not huge but massive! The loudest cymbals known to man, that riff! I wanted to sound like that, still do".
