Free Music Notes for The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust
Free Music Review: Simply beautiful...
Hit: 5 Stars
David Bowie has always been ahead of his time and this release is no exception. Bowie's sexual ambiguity and song-themes are still being challenged by lesser-artists and pundits, but has anyone else stepped up to the plate in the last 30 years? It Ain't Easy... Nope, not even today. I can but imagine how it must have been for young David in his early days. Maybe the whole Ziggy persona was the only way anyone would have given him a chance? I digress, I believe Ziggy was the epitome of what Bowie's stood for all of these years.
The songs. The lyrics. The story. The concept. They're all beautiful. All great. But more, the musicianship of the "Spiders from Mars" is beyond their time as well. The Beatles flirted with touchy subjects in the 60s after first becoming "teen idols," but has anyone really taken it to such a level that Bowie has attempted?
Listnening to this album.. it's hard to think of it in the context of the early 70s. It is tinged with elements from the 50s, 60s, 80s and most surprisingly, elements that I believe have yet to come to fruition.
David Bowie has always seemed a bit spacey, but even today he seems ahead of his time.
Free Music Review: Glam Rock at it's best.
Hit: 5 Stars
Along with Electric Warrior, this album defined Glam Rock. Buy it now. Its amazing. Try to find the Rykodisc version though. Free Music Review: Essential Bowie
Hit: 5 Stars
Of all the Bowie albums,,,ehhh...cd's out, and all the different obsessions and variances in his music and art; of all the hidden messages and obscure references; of all the melodies and dance rhythms, back beat, up beat, down beat...THIS IS THE PLACE TO START, the Essential Bowie.
First time listeners of David Bowie should really look no further than Ziggy Stardust. Lit or sober, high or grounded, this is pure genius. Everything after, is everything else.

This is a must own album for any fan of classic rock. This to me is one of Bowie's best. I liked them all right up to and including "Diamond Dogs". This is my fourth favorite album after the first three Queen albums.
