The songs tell of the rise and fall of rock musician Ziggy Stardust few years before humanity is destroyed by a disaster. Can such a concept that is once was built in the heyday of Glam Rocks and sounds like too thick-applied Spacerock, today recommend? One can! There are many good and very good rock albums, and there are a few that meet the predicate "for eternity". "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" is one of them. Okay, you may find the shrill masquerade Bowie embarrassed keep knitted for too simplistic songs or scold Bowie's voice and land. Yes indeed, and rightly so. But still: never later Bowie again so delivered a homogeneous work, never again the catchy rate a Bowie album was so high. "Starman", "Rock 'N' Roll Suicide", "Ziggy Stardust" and "Five Years" are simply outstanding, as well as left and right, there is not a single failure. "Ziggy Stardust" is counted not in vain by the music critics the world over and over again as one of the most important and most influential albums of music history. I would have thought me to make notorious "Which albums of the desert island" list, this would be on the front line. Forever.
