Distilling Iggy Pop's work down to 17 songs is nearly impossible. Anyone with an interest in Mr. Pop should first pick up the Stooges albums before exploring his later solo years. This collection, however, includes enough highlights to satisfy a casual fan. The Stooges are lightly covered with the essential punk anthem "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and the manic "Search and Destroy." The inclusion of the slinking "Sick of You" is a nice touch. Pop's pop leanings pop up with "Nightclubbing," "China Girl," and "Lust for Life," tracks in which the guitars are toned down a notch and Iggy exhibits a slightly more mellow side. Of course, he ultimately returns with a vengeance befitting one of rock's original wild men. --Rob O'Connor

5 out of 5 stars Iggy at his best!.......2007-05-22

All the Iggy songs that get stuck in your head in one place. The possibility of scaring your coworkers with your music is a definite bonus.

5 out of 5 stars An essential purchase...........2006-06-06

..if you are a complete DORK! Iggy Pop changed his name from James Osterberg when he found out he was too dumb to spell it correctly. He was also a member of The Stooges but that group was never the same after Curley died.

Be that as it may, they included a few Stooges tracks here... but the first half of the cd is pretty much disposable.

It gets better after, and including, 'Real Wild Child'. That's when Iggy tried to be Bowie, who is another useless blight on the landscape of rock'n'roll. Bowie, like others of limited talent, kept reinventing his "image" because that's ALL he could sell to a gullible public. He had NO talent for music whatsoever. Iggy is pretty much the same. He resorts to exposing his genitals on stage, and he only has credibilty with overly simplistic village idiots. Mr. Pop even made an album called, quite appropriately, "The Idiot".

There are about half a dozen half-decent tracks on this compilation but all-in-all, it's one big yawn. Buy it if you are not too bright. I mean, they say "A fool and his money are soon parted."...why should YOU break that cycle??

I never really saw what was so great about Iggy Pop.

He was hyper and screamed. so what? So does my two year old son.

3 out of 5 stars embarrassing evidence of how aging causes one to suck.......2005-01-09

When I got this album, I truly thought that Iggy Pop was the perfect candidate for a greatest hits compilation. He's got a dozen decent hits scattered across a dozen mediocre albums, and it would seem logical that gathering those songs together would produce one nearly perfect album.

How wrong I was. Instead, by sequencing these 17 songs in chronological order, "Nude & Rude" just provides a handy step-by-step guide for charting Iggy Pop's mortifying decline from Detroit wildman to crapola alt-rock crooner. Some of these songs are outright embarrassing. "Kill City" borders on arena rock parody, and "Home"--the second single of Iggy's comeback "Brick by Brick"--is excrutiating. Listening to Iggy croon "home boy, home boy" is agony. The folky duet "Candy" is still a guilty pleasure, but "Real Wild Child"--arguably the biggest hit of Iggy's career--has fittingly become the theme song of Carnival Cruise Lines, where middle-aged porkers saddle up at all-you-can-eat buffet, before enjoying Kathie Lee Gifford on the ledo deck.

Some of the best songs here are still the one's David Bowie wrote. "Lust for Life", "Nightclubbing", and "China Girl" all hold up nicely as perfect pop songs. Ironically, however, it's Bowie's mediocre mix of "Search & Destroy" and "Gimme Danger" present here, instead of the far superior remix that Iggy issued later.

2 out of 5 stars For the most part , this is TRASH.......2004-11-11

I spun this disk only a few times before I decided to sell it back. This is mostly just trashy, unexciting rock n'roll without much in the way of decent songwriting. I might've held onto it to hear "Lust for Life," but that song has lost most of its swaggering power since it's become commercialized.

I also might've held on to this disk if it had my favorite Iggy track "Repo Man" which should've been in this collection. Alas, it's not and I just can't be bothered with the rest. I guess I'll just go get the "Repo Man" soundtrack which is far more enjoyable than this dreck. =)
