If you look the credits of Lust For Life there is only one song Iggy made all By himself. All the others are Bowie´s or some others compositions (I didn´t know Passenger was composed By Ricky Gardiner, I have always thought it was Iggy´s song at least partly). Bowie played also keyboards in that album and was responsible partly the production. And I don´t think anybody is thinking Lust For Life as Bowie´s Project.
Anyway it´s quite the same who made the Idiot. It´s just so great. And I think I have to also listen Low again, but it´s not long time I listened Heroes many times and I like much more the Idiot. Bowie achieved never the same as Iggy as vocalist.
