The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (2012 Remastered Version)

Editors’ Notes This concept album about an androgynous extraterrestrial rock star whose sparkling sexual charisma is only matched by his massive ego was Bowie's watershed moment. His new glam image made him a global superstar and remains an iconic rock fashion touchstone. But what we love even more than the platform boots and silver lamé are the thrilling songs that drive this record, from the guitar-heavy rockers "Suffragette City" and "Moonage Daydream," through the soulful ballads "Starman" and "Lady Stardust" to the unapologetically theatrical climax "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide."
