Instinct (Iggy Pop Album)
Instinct is an album by American singer Iggy Pop, released in June 1988. After the heavily pop-oriented, radio-ready Blah Blah Blah, A&M expected another hit record from Pop; however, he instead recorded the heavy, hard-rocking, Instinct. Instinct featured Steve Jones on guitar.
The album peaked at number 110 on the Billboard 200 chart. The first single from the album, "Cold Metal", charted at number 37 on Mainstream rock charts and earned Pop a Grammy Award nomination for Best Hard Rock/Metal performance in 1989.
The album was ranked #69 on Kerrang!s "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" list.
Videos were made for "Cold Metal" and "High On You".

Famous quotes containing the words instinct and/or pop:
“As the traveller who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse’s neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
