"Born \nApril 21st, 1947\nKey Tracks \n\"Search and Destroy,\" \"I Wanna Be Your Dog,\" \"Lust for Life\"\nInfluenced \nJack White, Johnny Rotten, Nick Cave\n\nDrawing inspiration from the most aggressively carnal moments of Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop's force-of-nature vocals with the Stooges invented the snarling style that came to define punk rock. \"I got the idea of the voice as an irritant from Mick Jagger,\" Iggy told Rolling Stone. \"When he sang, it was the opposite of nice.\" But Iggy wasn't all about provocation: In his more restrained post-Stooges work \u2014 on songs from the David Bowie-produced The Passenger to his 1990 hit single \"Candy\" \u2014 he let his baritone relax into a louche, affecting croon. \"Iggy has a very manly voice, very sexual, very emotional, very fierce, very wry \u2014 a lot of humor,\" says the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde. \"He was just like a wild colt, and he grew into a wild stallion.\" \n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
