About this episode
For this week’s episode, we’re going to go back into the ongoing history of new music vault and our “what’s the big deal” series. This is where we try to figure out why we keep hearing and reading about these old names from the past. How are they connected to today's music? What did they do 20, 30 years ago and why should we care? And if they were so damn important, why didn't they ever sell a lot of records in the first place? Simple. We need to care because without these performers, today's new rock and alternative music wouldn't be possible. And honestly, icons don't get much bigger than Iggy Pop, who is universally known as the godfather of punk. So, we thought you’d like to have a listen and find out “what’s the big deal about Iggy Pop” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
