I'm not sure this is the best Bowie album I've heard on this countdown, but it's solid and takes the singer songwriter feel of Hunky Dory and gives it a much harder edge. Honestly though I think this album sits where it does because it is considered the peak of glam rock. There is a loose concept to this album and it all comes together because of Bowie's presence. Even on the album his energy is undeniable.
A good album to play while playing Bowl Bound. Also if you are going to make a 70's mix tape you couldn't go wrong with including the song "Ziggy Stardust."
Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 3 out of 5 stars for Pretty Good.
Good song that I'd never heard--thanks.
