The Idiot was the first Iggy solo release that I ever heard, and I think it's been unfairly swept under the rug of "cool rock" history. That album, and Lust for Life, were hugely influential in a totally different way than the Stooges albums were. But they don't get the same lovin' that is given to albums like Bowie's Low, or Lou's Transformer. Total classics though. And yeah/ the influence on Joy Division is pretty clear.
