''The Idiot'' is the debut studio album by Music/IggyPop, released in 1977. Made after the breakup of Music/TheStooges, the album was written and recorded with help from Music/DavidBowie. Recorded just before Bowie's album ''[[Music/LowDavidBowieAlbum Low]]'' but released two months after, ''The Idiot'' acts as a direct prototype for Bowie's [[ThematicSeries Berlin Trilogy]] (which makes up 1977's ''Low'' & ''[[Music/HeroesDavidBowieAlbum "Heroes"]]'' and 1979's ''Music/{{Lodger}}''), featuring a similar {{Krautrock}} and {{ambient}}-infused style of art rock that builds off Bowie's earlier avant-funk experiments on ''Music/StationToStation''. Bowie would co-write and co-produce two more of Pop's solo albums, ''Music/LustForLife'' later in 1977 and ''Blah-Blah-Blah'' in 1986.

In the years since its release, the album would, alongside the Berlin Trilogy, be cited as a major influence on a number of PostPunk, SynthPop, and {{industrial}} musicians in the following decades. Music/DavidBowie would later rewrite "Sister Midnight" as "Red Money" for ''Lodger'', later covering "China Girl" on ''Music/LetsDance'' (1983).
