A Iggy Pop - I'm a Conservative



B The Ikettes - Peaches ’N Cream

[Deleted]

Is A Goat Boy?

I wanted to like A and it began in an interesting way. But it soon got all very heavy handed and Iggy's vocal sounded like bad kareoke.

The sound quality of B ain't great, which is the price you sometimes pay for uploading a TV clip. As exhuberant and bursting with bright eyed bounciness as a lamb let out for the first day of Spring.

B

[osgood]

There are a lot of examples of Iggy's poor judgement at quality control and this is one of them.

I have no idea if there is a studio version of B, and it would probably walk easily this tie. The way it is, I'm not sure it deserves a vote. For now, I

abstain

[~ / % ? *]

A

[oh oooh]

Soldier is an odd album. I always liked this one but it's not as funny as Iggy probably thought it was.

The Ikettes thing has its charms but there's really not a lot there at all, it's just a nursery rhyme, not the sort of thing I'd seek out.

A

[toomanyhatz]

A completes the transition of Iggy from man to cartoon. The shirt has remained off ever since.

B may be slight and of poor quality and whatever other criticisms you care to level at it, but it has so much more life to it.

Why that of all Iggy tracks?

[Half Machine Lipschitz]

I went through a bunch of stuff with Ike Turner's name on it for this round, but didn't come up with anything that I thought would be a surefire winner, including this one. It's just too slight.

The Iggy thing is an oddball one for sure, and it doesn't really work, but it edges this round.

A

[DarknessFish]

Oh Christ, what is this shit? More embarrassing than his car commercials. That's a shocker.

Why this version of Peaches and Cream, given there are proper ones on youtube. The terrible hollow echoey sound quality might give it some kind of resonance that it didn't have in the studio version.

Abstain.

[neige]

A, surprisingly.

[DayoRemix]

B is pretty slight and A is not a decent example of Pop..If you take away the lacking Iggy vocal, the music is competent, though not terribly inventive or daring..Enough for this round..Vote A

[Sneelock]

Holy Shit, how on Earth could I possibly vote against B?
the tune alone would have stopmped Iggy's guts out. Adding the visual of the Ikettes themselves waving their fingers and going "ah, ah ah!" and the magnificent Polka Dotted backing dancers, well, it just ain't fair. Iggy never had a chance!!

Be that as it may, I will still defend the first track. I think that vocal build up that recalls the "cello cello" chant in "a quick one" is goddam exciting. here's another thing - I don't think he's kidding. I don't know about James Osterberg but Iggy is surely a conservative. He likes those crazy girls that he screws, HEY HEY!

"Soldier" might be spotty but I like Cartoon Iggy & I like him just fine.

[fearlessfreap]

A though would have preferred Dog Food.

[oleandermedian]

Both poor efforts by acts who have done a lot better.

B

[fange]

Yeah, this album is a mixed bag, and while i like this track it's tough to love. B is skethchy in sound, but i still like it a bit more. I think Iggy might agree too.

Not bothered at all about Iggy, never have been and I doubt if I ever will.

That ikettes number on the other hand is wonderful. OK the sound quality is poor but it's easy to imagine what it would sound like live.Very similar to the newbeats bread and butter but a whole lot better to look at.
