09/02/2007 | a wonderful spacey dreamy album from david bowie,it was the peak of ziggy's spaceman powers and bowie's songwriting was @ a peak as well.even though it is not my be all end all fave bowie disk(thats a tie between Hunky Dory and Scarry Monsters)it still must rate as a total essential for anyone claiming to be a fan of rock n roll.this is glam rocks finest hour!

12/07/2004 | Huge influence for 30 yrs in music, both 'alt' and 'pop'. Check out his role as a Briish POW in the movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Hard to find, but totally worth it.

11/12/2003 | Once again, Ruby is way ahead of me. For many years I had passed off most of this album as mediocre at best. But Bowie WAS in a groove and it's taken time for me to tap into that groove. Moonage Daydream, Star and Hang Onto Yourself are all spectacular and under-appreciated. And Bowie certainly did his homework in creating the Ziggy Stardust character; elements of Brian Jones, Hendrix, Morrison... and Bowie brings out the tragedy and decadence of that glittery stardom. It's quite touching really. The band plays up a storm, Bowie is a fearless and relentlessly creative songwriter... let the children boogie.

08/05/2003 | he stole his look from the actors of pork. He used to be a hippie but other wise his music is good.

03/27/2002 | One of my favorite albums of all time from my favorite artist of all time. It's amazing listining to it now to think it was recorded at the begining of the 70's. To me it transended the glam rock scene of time into sound that still sounds fresh to me 30 years on.

11/25/2001 | talk about dissapointment, I was expecting at least a few good songs. But this CD was pathetic. Not one good song on it. I was extremely bummed. Definitely not the CD to buy.

10/15/2001 | I never hear too much of his stuff on the radio at home, so I was taking a chance on buying this album and I was genuinely impressed. Songs like Starman, Rock N Roll Suicide and Suffragette City are just perfect, they have great depth but still rock out and just get you movin. a wonderful album.

07/26/2001 | David Bowie is one of the most talented people in the world, and this stage character (Ziggy Stardust) proves that statement. So unique, and brilliant it will never be forgotten. I have always been an outcast and I discovered I was not alone when i discovered him. So insperational, if i could give him a rating better then 5, then i would. And his music is just amazing. His voice is beautiful and his lyrics are meaningful and quite amazing.

01/15/2001 | David Bowie is pure perfection. This collection of songs is the essence of glam. It has glitter, it is shinny and most importantly excess is key. The themes of the songs are political resentance disguised in pure rock; questions "scene" mentality and gendered ideas. Redefines rock.

01/08/2001 | One of the greatest theme albums of all time, "Ziggy Stardust," moves the listener with beautiful musical arrangement coupled with lyrics that tell a story with a grace and strength that make you feel that you're a part of it. This album also features one of the best first songs, with "5 Years," and last songs with "Rock n Roll Suicide" that act as perfect bookends to this perfect album.

12/20/2000 | This is the first album I ever bought on CD, way back in the early 80's, and I still listen to it. Nobody does freak-rock better than Mr. Bowie, and no one ever will. "Suffragette City" is almost as good as the previous Bowie classic, "The Man Who Sold The World."

11/03/2000 | One of the great, great records (though "Hunky Dory" is of the same class). It starts out pretty great and gets better from there. The bonus tracks on the CD are excellent as well. "Hang onto Yourself" gets lost in the great stuff on this record but would be a standout anywhere else. Bowie was in a groove on this one.

09/20/2000 | This is probably my favorite Bowie album of all of the great records that he has released. Unbelievable that he was 25 when he wrote and performed this ground-breaking material. It is somewhat of a 'rock opera' that tells the listener a story of imminent doom. As reflected by the thitle of the album, it follows the rise and fall of this pop/alien icon named Ziggy Stardust. Timeless piece of work that is coming up on a 30 year anniversary in a couple eof years. Even today, it is still way beyond its years. Get the record, see the movie, put on some platform boots, dye your hair orange and paint your face up with a blue and red lightning bolt drawn through the middle of it and tkae a spacey stroll with Bowie... Or you can just kick back with a couple of drinks and wish you were around to experience the phenomonen of Ziggy in the doldrums of the early 70's.

08/11/2000 | I have never been so excited about the introduction of music before than when I got introduced to Bowie. Ziggy Stardust is an unbelievable CD. I have an acoustic version of Ziggy Stardust and it is so good.
