| It's on an album called 'The Sound of the Suburbs' with
loads of good stuff from the very late seventies/early
eighties. Ask Pete, he's got it.

| .0 � Anyone Remember a song by Iggy Pop called "The Passenger" (I am a
� passenger ; I ride & I ride.. etc - He sounds a bit Lou Reed 'ish )
By strange coincidence, an old friend leant me this one quite recently.
.2 � It's on an album called 'The Sound of the Suburbs' ...
All the other hits on that album where chart successes (i think). This
one doesn't seem to have been in the charts at all (according to
Guiness). It was definitely a single.

It's on Lust for Life, one of many albums he's released. I haven't got a
complete listing but some of them are:
Funhouse
Raw Power
The Idiot (suprise!)
Lust of Life
BlahBlahBlah
� It's on an album called 'The Sound of the Suburbs' ...
Are you sure? I agree with .3 on this, all the other tracks were not only hits
but most were by UK groups and "from the suburbs" (The Jam, The Members,
The Vapours etc). It was on a (fairly) recent compilation however, was it
3 minute hero's?

Agreed, it is on lust for life. Many of the tracks were produced/backed
by David Bowie. Don't know of direct Lou Reed influence but Transformer
also features Mr Bowie.

| There's a good gritty cover of The Passenger on that Siouxsie covers
album, as well. What a great song.

Yep , I remember the Siouxsie Cover !....managed to get hold of a
copy of "Lust for Life" at the weekend . Well worth a listen , but
I was stunned at how overpowering the Bowie influence is on the
album!....So no one remembers if 'the passenger' was ever released
as a single then ?....It got lots of play in the clubs at the time
but maybe it was just the album track . I was convinced that this
had been released as a single , but am now beginning to doubt this
....unless anyone else knows differently !

| Sandie,
I'm *almost* certain that "The Passenger" was issued on a single at
some point in time, either in its own right, or, if not, as the 'B'
side of Iggy's release of "China Girl" (great version of this,, eh?).

It was released as a single around '77,but when I tried to get a copy
of it about 3 years after that,all I could get was a 12" German import.I
can't remember what is on the b-side as it has been so long since I
last played it.....still a classic.
