Tom asked for it, so...

In this corner, the leathery saddle bag of Deeeetroit rock en rollll, the godfather of all things punkety rockety, Igggggyyyyy Pooooopppppp.

And in this corner, the littlest of Agatha Christie's 10 Little New Romantics, Mr. Goody Two Shoes, Adaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam Anttttttttttttt.

You know the drill.

Jess, Friday, 17 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just bought the Adam Ant box set last week, so at the present time, "UNPLUG THE JUKEBOX...AND DO US ALL A FAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!"

Ned Raggett, Friday, 17 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Still grooving to "Dog Eat Dog" in my car, daily. [Whomp!] Makes me proud, [Whomp! Whomp!] so proud of you...

Joe, Saturday, 18 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ha! This was not the thread I meant. Obviously Adam Ant wins - I've never remotely been able to stand Iggy's solo stuff whereas a decent Ants hit collection is something no man should be without. Very very little pop drumming has ever sounded as good as the Ants' dumbed-down Burundi ripoffs.

Tom, Saturday, 18 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nobody beats Iggy.

Lyra, Sunday, 19 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So far it's:

Adam - 3

Iggy - 1

(With 1 abstaining.)

Jess, Sunday, 19 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I cannot even believe you even need to ask this question:

Iggy Live Metalic KO's Adam Ant in the 3rd round.

and then he smears Mills Lane with Peanut Butter.

Michael Taylor, Sunday, 19 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I cannot even believe you even need to ask this question

This is why I love this place so. Another orthodoxy down in flames!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anttttttttttttt.

"Please welcome our next challenger, T-t-t-t-t-t-tiny T-t-t-t-t-t-t-tim!"

tha chzza, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Heck, I don't like being on the side of orthodoxy, but if if it's going DOWN IN FLAMES I'll jump on...Adam Ant isn't even as good as Alvin Stardust. A box set? Christ.

duane, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How I miss the old ILM where you really wouldn't have needed to ask this question. ;)

Tom, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I vote iggy but only because lou and bowie would have told him somethign evil in the dressing room.

anthony, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Iggy, obviously...

a fairer match would have been Bow Wow Wow vs A & Ants: Battle of the British Bogus Burundi Bands.

And he still would have lost, because Malcolm stole his band and "See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah! City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!" is a better name for an album than "Dirk Wears White Sox".

fritz, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tiny Tim is no fair. Soon as he broke into a cover of Stairway To Heaven any challenger would be disqualified for fleeing in terror.

zacko, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yet another reason why Adam beats out boring rockist* Ig - he beat McLaren! McLaren nicks his band and so Adam gets another pretty much identical one (although including Man Named Marco) and proceeds to have EVERY SINGLE ONE of the ideas Malcolm M. would have over the rest of his career (with the sole exception of swapping opera rip- offs for panto rip-offs, and I'm on Adam's side there too) and what is more have huge monster hits with them.

All of which would count for nothing were not A.Ant's span of hit singles brilliance on stilts. Luckily they are. As for "fake Burundi" slam - yeah it was fake and a good thing too because real Burundi doesn't have lyrics as good as Adam's.

*yeah a dodgy word round here nowadays but AA is explicitly anti- rockist, see "Stand And Deliver" and "Antmusic". Then once he'd killed rock he brought it back, see "Vive Le Rock". Iggy, on the other hand, was (Side 2 of Funhouse excepted) always its prisoner.

Tom, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

there are moments when we must let go of our contrarianism and listen to common sense. this is one of them. iggy, with the greatest of ease. hell, even solo iggy. even avenue a iggy.

tom: are you sure iggy is rock's prisoner? cos i've always thought of it as the other way around. meanwhile, hasn't ant always been fashion's slave?

fred solinger, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Accusations of contrarianism are the resort of the weak in argument: I mean every word and "common sense" surely has no place in pop. And in a good pop forum the word "obviously" would be banned.

Tom, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Indeed, foo on common sense. The lyrics of "Stand and Deliver" are far too fun to shout along to, for one thing.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"obviously" is bad manners, I suppose. But I think it's well documented that Iggy beat Adam to a lot of his tricks (included the much-vaunted faux-African rhythmic thing) by a good ten years, if not inspired a lot of them personally.

And what's so ever-lovin' superior about being a POPist? Why does this cheap shot "Rockist" jab always cropping up in this forum? To call someone "rockist" to imply that they're closed-minded and dismissive is to be closed-minded and dismissive oneself. It's like calling someone "white boy" to make them appear narrow-minded and bigoted. Simply because someone can appreciate good rock music does not mean that they have orthodox ideas about what makes for interesting pop culture.

fritz, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I knew this thread would erupt into something sooner or later. ;]

I third the common sense agrument. Pop is all about going with your gut response, and the joy/curse of gut responses is that they're not to be trusted. Doubling back on yourself is part of being a pop fan. For instance, I never would have thought four or five years ago that I'd ever be reevalutating Adam Ant, who I never rated. (Then again, I never really rated Iggy either, except for the first two Stooges records. But the mental image of their two cliches actually going at it in a steel cage death match was too much to resist.)

Jess, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

tom, have i raised your dander? can't you take a little JOSHing?

and i can't believe i left a broken tag. AAAAAGH. my first offense. i obviously should be beaten and left for dead.

fred solinger, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Iggy solo = suX0r, so Ant it is, though I don't own anything of his, but that will be rectified eventually.
I think it's fair to sneer at 'rockists' (and indie kids), as 99% of the time it's they who do the sneering. Except on this board, where it's the reverse.

DG, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1. "Goody Two Shoes" is a better record than Iggy ever made.

2. Tom is unfair to poor old Uncle Malcolm, I think.

3. Fritz, anyone who has unorthodox ideas about what makes for interesting pop culture is most probably not a rockist.

Tim, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can someone define "rockist" then? I'm getting all riled up for no reason, I know.

fritz, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rockists are people who are afraid of the middle of their bodies. For scientific proof, look here.

Tim, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Worth pointing out at this point that I called *Ig* a rockist not his supporters - since Ig is in the eyes of many the livin' spirit of rock and roll this doesn't seem a particularly controversial thing to say. Since in my eyes the spirit of rock and roll is a played-out broken reed anyhow my qualification of it with "boring" seems fair enough to me too.

Anal concern with origins of styles, musical tricks etc. = rockist.

Opposition of rockist with popist = rockist.

OK I'm joking, I don't know what it means either and I've been guilty of both the above. I do know though that as discussion of the rock and alt-rock canon on ILM has become more and more, uh, nuanced, the discussion of the music that excites me seems to have declined. In quantity, rather than quality: this is still a superb board for the serious music fan, I'm just not sure I'm a serious music fan any more. So with that in mind (and also because I need to create some spare time!) I'm taking a holiday - e-mail address is below and I will try to respond to anybody's comments on rockism or anything else there. I mention this only because it's a bit rude of me not to answer Fritz's reasonable qns on-forum. My sincerest apologies for this bit of prima donna-ism.

Tom, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Awww, now I feel like a jerk. A *rockist* jerk.

fritz, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Iggy's status as a giant in rock history is secured. On the basis of the Stooges records alone, he's seminal. That said, and I love the man dearly, he has put out many, many dud records. In fact, I really think that following his 'new wavey' run at Arista, they've all been pretty dud.

Ant was always better at creating great singles, but this was something that the Stooges were never trying to do.

btw, I saw Ant on a documentary recently, and seeing that his head was wrapped in a bandana leads me to believe that he's mostly bald.

Sean, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If the picture in the box set is any indication, he's dyed his hair blonde and wears it fairly short. Which could easily be a cover for going bald, yup. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sick of seeing old man Iggy on VH1 all the time so I'd hope he'd get his ass kicked. Keep in mind this statement was not made based on musical ability, just hatred.

Lindsey B, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You must all listen to Tom, he is always right, ESPECIALLY in an AA context. Mr Ewing, I am proud of you, sir! Mr Goddard never had to get his tackle out to impress ...

Guy Flower, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

... In public, anyway!

Guy Flower, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just SEEING the lyrics to "Antmusic" makes me extraordinarily happy.

There's an easy way to settle this. When I was younger, my older brother (the one of Poem-Cees fame) had the best music taste in the world. He had _Kings Of The Wild Frontier_. He didn't own anything by The Stooges.

Adam Ant is PROVEN BETTER BY SCIENCE!

Dan Perry, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How embarrassing to screw up your own brother's

Oh hell.

Dan Perry, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I *completely* agree with Ewing - now disappeared in a puff of smoke - on Ant vs Pop, though not necessarily on the rest of the caboodle.

the pinefox, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am a fan of both, quite big time. BUT ADAM ANT BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF IGGY POP IN ALL WAYS. I mean, those clothes! The videos! Goody Two Shoes! The Ant Rap! FUCKING HELL! Argh.

My mind is in meltdown over the very idea that I had to be asked whether or not Adam Ant was better than Iggy Pop. I mean, all I know is that if a movie was made loosely based on New Romanticism, Adam Ant would NOT be played extremely poorly by Ewan McGregor, and that says it all.

Ally, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Viva Ally! Between that and Dan's family note, the question is SETTLED.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There is just no human way to argue with lyrics like "Put on a little make up, make up / Make sure they get your good side, good side". I mean, I'm sorry, but you just can't. And if you can, you need to be shot with paintballs. Plus, has no one noticed THE CLOTHING? Everyone should dress like that.

But really neither of them are as good as 'Rock Me Amadeus'.

Ally, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Don't you *ever* stop being dandy showing me your handsome, Prince Chow Mein.

Why was Nick Carter rocking the New Ro pirate look (although it was more Steve Strange than AA) at the Teen Choice awards? Why not, I guess.

Arthur, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

He was? Nick has officially replaced Kevin as my favorite Backstreet Boy now.

Ally, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

a tenuous connection, feel free to scoff and snort, but please draw the line at guffawing.

no iggy pop = no glam rock = no new romanticism = no adam ant.

if adam ant were to somehow kill iggy in the cage match, would he destroy himself as well? for the good of all mankind, would adam ant have to perish? (presupposing that the "loser" would have to perish.)

fred solinger, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

great equation except for second unit, fred: UK glam wd have happened anyway, and not v.diff; bowie after 75, ie post-glam, and in Berlin, wd be diff.; and THAT'S where NR comes from.

"Meet Iggy Pop, and David Bowie": Kraftwerk are never wrong.

mark s, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mark, i was never one for chemistry, in all that that statement implies. in physics, however, i was quite good. senior year, my partner and i built a car that'd propel itself -- without fuel, by MECHANICS alone -- and it destroyed all other cars in its path. sort of like junkyard wars or equivalent. except our car had biz markie and coolio as "hubcaps."

all of this, not the car stuff, leads to another question: what was the genesis of glam?

fred solinger, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My fake eyelashes.

Anyhow, this isn't ultimate death match in which the winner somehow destroys all of humanity in the process, it's a simple question of who is better. Adam Ant = better in all ways. Fact.

Ally, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

genesis of glam = mod (I know: surprisingly, but nevertheless entirely provable by science)

mark s, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Iggy's solo albums are pretty boring, yeah I know...but he said this really great thing in a interview once - the interviewer axed him if he called the album "The Idiot" after the Dostoevski bk & he went "No, I called it that because I'm an idiot".

duane, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...
Iggy by a mile. Adam's a grease spot. I'd much rather shout "Search & Destroy," "Bang Bang," "Lust For Life," "Wild America," "Squarehead," or "Dum Dum Boys" than "Stand & Deliver" or "Goody Two Shoes." To say nothing of "No Fun" or "The Passenger." And, as they both play rock, the "rockist" thing is officially vull & noid.

John Bullabaugh (John Bullabaugh), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Iggy Pop would beat Adam Ant over the head with one of the members of the Corrs until there was nothing left but a pile of hamburger with two legs sticking out.

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:51 (twenty-two years ago)

in that case, I'm gonna stick up for the underdog.

Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

How can there even be any question? "I Got a Right" alone just annihilates Adam's entire back catalog. Period.

In a steel cage, Iggy would roll himself in peanut butter and broken glass, apply the bear hug and Mr. Ant would be profusely bleeding from a hundred thousand lacerations as the Stooges slammed out a high-octane rendition of "LA Blues" while Iggy howled out, oblivious to his own, inevitable triumph.

Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

God's Holy Trousers, where did this thread come from?

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone joined my orgy of Thread Revival.
Yeeessssss, he became suffused with the Hoooly Spirit and felt compelled to REVIVE, Praise BOB!

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Put some wax on the trax and slide on, on to here (hey hey hey hey heeeey). Hatchets in the corner, ears to the ground, improve to the groove, get down to the sound. Buttons and bows and bleu blanc rouge--
all things lively must be used. Liberte, egalite, au jour dui c'est tres tres tres, l'opportunite nous Incroyables. I got the moves, they got the grooves summoned the gods and they all approved. Bad vibes akimbo on the shelf--got a bit of a rap thing going for myself. This gold on the teeth's no sense at all, it only matters when it's on the wall. I'm standing here with my four men so let's start that rapping thing again. Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly.
In the naughty North and in the sexy South we're all singing "I have the mouth, I have the mouth". So tired of anarchists looking at me,
don't need their credibility. "Destroy," they say, "Defy! Condemn!"
As long as you don't destroy them. With twenty years of drugs and drink, I thought the time had come to think about standing up and saying that it's tragedy and such old hat. I'm standing here with my four men so let's start that rapping thing again. I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly. In the naughty north and in the sexy south, we're all singing "I have the mouth! I have the mouth!" These happy feet are all we need, summoned the gods and they all agreed. These feet won't stop cos they're in such a hurry--
I knock it on the head and I go for a curry. Staying sober can be neat, get drunk on these here happy feet. Keep on trying to pin me down, ask why a title for your sound. I'm standing here with my four men, and let's do this rapping thing again. I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly. In the naughty north and in the sexy south, we're all singing I have the mouth, and I have the mouth, and you have the mouth, now they got the mouth.

EAT ADAM ANT'S FUC P. DIDDY

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

That's nice.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I thought so too. It cheers me up greatly.

Adam Ant would make a prettier girl than Iggy Pop, by the way.

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Undoubtedly.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

TS: "Stand and Deliver" v. "The Passenger".

I'm sorry, I'm very bored.

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Both brilliant. Next?

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, TS: "Car Trouble" v. "Candy"

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

"Car Trouble." "Candy" may very well be the worst thing Ig's ever done. I'd rather listen to the entirely painful Avenue B on endless rotation than violate the long-suffering aural cavities of my head with "Candy" ever again.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow. I just picked it cos it started with a "C". I'd take "Stand and Deliver", btw, just a hair over "The Passenger", because the lyrics on S&D are the best lyrics ever written in history. However I should've probably TS'ed it with "Search and Destroy". Anyway.

Ok, TS: "Whip in My Valise" v. "Real Wild Child"

in double feature with

TS: "Goody Two Shoes" v. "Lust for Life"

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

If this was 1970 there would be no question, Ant wouldn't have done shit and Iggy would have just released one of the best albums of all time. Now...

this is tough.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Prince Charming is also one of the best albums of all time.

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

that's enough crack, Ally. Put it down.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Normally I'd be insulted by such a dismissal, but in this case? Nah.

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't mean it. But I think you're blinded by "Stand And Deliver" and the front cover.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

No, "Picasso Visita del Planeta de los Simios" is a great song, as is "S.E.X." And just real the "Antrap" above! Liberte! Egalite! Au jour dui c'est tres tres tres! Oh my god.

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll give it another try, though even thinking of Ant Rap is enough to...um, make me wish I hadn't. Don't think I don't WANT a man whose last name is Ant to have made one of the best albums of all times. Especially since one of the best singles ever is on it.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Adam Ant > Iggy Pop? You can't be serious. Desperate - But not serious.

dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

*rimshot*

"Prince Charming" itself is a pretty good song too, actually. "Ant rap" is, in all actuality, a hideous, unlistenable song, but the theory of it is pretty great.

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Once I saw the video the title track made more sense, I'll admit. Plus "Ridicule is nothing to be scared of" is just a classic line, one of the main reasons that Adamn Ant is a gift to this world.

But Iggy Pop was dirt and he didn't care. Actually that was Iggy Stooge! This makes it easier.

Iggy Stooge is better than Adam Ant who is better than Iggy Pop. Yay! I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Adamn Ant

Best. Typo. Evah!

Anyway, the "Ridicule is nothing to be scared of" aesthetic that they both share is why I posted those two pictures. Really, they're both horribly, horribly ridiculous and eccentric for like two directly opposing reasons.

TS: New York v. London.

Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Just think: Who is getting arrested in pubs, dressed as a cowboy and who is touring the skin right off the planet, one hour at a time?
Iggy now, then and 4ever.

Brandon Welch (Brandon Welch), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 01:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that's not really fair, is it? Adam can't do those things from a mental institution!

i'm 34 and don't remember adam's "vive le rock "and i've just heard it for the first time on live aid dvd and loved it so much i bought the whole cd - every track sounds like an elvis cover and it's brilliant.it's adam's 2nd best,wonderful sounds too much like morrisey and hasn'

i'd rather have a little bit somethin (adam) than a lot of nothing(iggy)

Oh please people. I love Adam Ant, but he's not even in the same hemispherre as Iggy. Sure, Iggy hasn't made a decent album in quite a long damn while (not that Adam has either, mind you), BUT FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD, HE WAS IN THE STOOGES!!!!!

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 7 January 2005 07:20 (twenty-one years ago)

was iggy larry curly or moe - hahha!
seriously adam without the looks,talent is iggy.
both deserved more

isn't it strange that adam and the ants had a song called "scorpios" and then on adam's solo vive le rock he wrote "scorpio"

picasso, Friday, 7 January 2005 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't it strange that adam and the ants had a song called "scorpios" and then on adam's solo vive le rock he wrote "scorpio"

It's commonly called the "I'm Running Out of Ideas" syndrome.

Iggy has more talent in his pancreas than Adam has in his entire being....and I love Adam & the Ants.
