David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)


Bowie's a fuckin rock and roll legend and he's got so many great songs in his catalogue. This was the first Bowie album I ever bought and over time it's just gotten better and better. This style of rock is called "glam rock", I think mostly cause dude used to wear makeup on stage when he performed. For a short time he wasn't Bowie anymore, but this alterego Ziggy Stardust, and this album tells the story. From the start of his career, through this exotic space voyage, eventually leading to his death. Lot of classic tracks on this album, the title track is probably the most recognizable.
  1. "Five Years" – 4:43
  2. "Soul Love" – 3:33
  3. "Moonage Daydream" – 4:35
  4. "Starman" – 4:16
  5. "It Ain't Easy" (Ron Davies) – 2:56
  6. "Lady Stardust" – 3:20
  7. "Star" – 2:47
  8. "Hang on to Yourself" – 2:37
  9. "Ziggy Stardust" – 3:05
  10. "Suffragette City" – 3:19
  11. "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" – 2:57
