Blah‐Blah‐Blah by Iggy Pop
Blah‐Blah‐Blah is an album by Iggy Pop, released in 1986. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 49 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Real Wild Child (Wild One)”, on 28 lists with a best position of #53.
Blah-Blah-Blah, Iggy Pop's seventh album, came out on A&M in September 1986, and it ended a four-year silence with the one partner who always seemed to know what to do with him: David Bowie, who produced and served as his main collaborator. It was the last time the two worked together, closing a partnership that ran back through The Idiot and Lust for Life to the Stooges' Raw Power.
This is the Godfather of Punk gone glossy, all mid-'80s studio sheen and big hard-rock drums, with that baritone croon holding the center. It paid off: it became the biggest-selling record of his career, "Real Wild Child (Wild One)" became one of his best-known solo hits, and a successful tour followed.
