God?
i turned to my daughter, aged three at the time, and said, "When you hear people talk about God, this is who they mean. Ziggy Stardust, the song, was playing on the stereo. His name's Ziggy Stardust. " i thought it was a good introduction to music, as well as theology. i don't know if there's a better album out there. there's certainly not a cooler one. and there's certainly no one who's just taken rock 'n roll and run with it the way david bowie did. in ziggy stardust, he became the incarnation of the rock star before he even was a rock star. and then killed him. there was no rock'n roll messiah before ziggy stardust. and there never will be again. .


Turning point in American pop music. A surreal dream!
In an era of Deep Purples, Zeppelins and Black Sabbaths, Bowie's freeze-dried Ziggy Starbust had a lot of surreal imagery that changed the face of pop music. When I first heard this album in 1972, I was floored. No longer was it just dumb music to nod off on. It was different, weird but it rocked with a new attitude of glam-rock star personna. Every cut on this classic album is enjoyable. My Faves': Suffragette City, Star, Moonage Daydream, Ziggy Stardust, Hang On To Yourself, Soul Love and the sound is punchy and clean and in your face and the band rocks out like highly energized speed freaks. One of the best 20 albums of all time and Bowie's best. It is a surreal dream!.


Ziggy Stardust
Well this CD is maybe the best of Bowie's. What can you say about Bowie? Well lots, but this is just a review. It's his first work that he become theatrical both in concert and in the music. The songs are strong in theme, as most of his later would show. It's moods very and yet have a strong center core of emotions and feelings that are subdued by the lyrics and themes which they speak of. This is just a great album. Get it.


Can't listen to one song
it is one of those albums that makes you want to hear the whole thing from beginning to end. Whenever I hear a song from this album I need to play all of it. By far his best album in my opinion. From the urgency of "5 years" to the introspective "rock n roll suicide " this is a complete perfectly flowing album. If your new to Bowie and are looking for a good offering from this period in his career, this is where to start.


One of top 10 albums of all time
There are many great bands and many great albums, but this level of achievement is limited to only the masters. The mark of a great artist is to produce an album that consists of a set of tracks which together produce a whole that is much greater than any one or the sum of its parts. How many have achieved this? Few indeed, and let's name them: The Who ('Tommy'), Pink Floyd ('Dark side of the moon' & 'The Wall'), Santana ('Abraxas'), Rolling Stones ('Let it bleed' & 'Sticky Fingers'), Led Zeppelin 'II', Traffic 'Mr Fantasy'. . . and David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust'. Now exquisitely remastered, can one afford to not have this album?.
