THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS

Ah, Ziggy, how great thou art! I have loved this album for years and have had it on about 4 different mediums up to Ipod. Just about anything of Bowie's that featured Mick Ronson I enjoy. I will not go into detail much because so many others have already done so, but I will say that it is a near perfect rock album- just the right mix of ballads and rockers, great music, great lyrics, good story. I guess it is not really "prog" in the classical, symphonic, jazz, etc.. sense but in terms of opening up new vistas of rock, then prog it is! Favorite songs- "Five Years", "Rock and Roll Suicide". Rating- 5 stars.
