    'Ziggy Stardust' was a revelation and THE album which made me becoming a David Bowie's fan. I still miss Him 💔. R.I.P. David

    Ziggy Stardust is a work of art in storytelling. Each song is so connected and descriptive that you can see and feel the tale unfold while listening. It's my favorite album of all time. ❤
  • @raynabozny2338
    I always listen to Ziggy all the way both sides and have since 1974 when I first heard it
  • @alangray9117
    Moonage Daydream was the masterpiece in my humble opinion. ❤

    The Ziggy Stardust album never sounds old - it always sounds like it's 50 years into the future. Bowie was a time traveler.
  • @matgatti
    All three Ken Scott-produced records from the 1970s are insanely good. Let’s not forget Station to Station, my personal favorite
  • @DrTomoculus
    And Ken Scott is one of the best engineers David Bowie could ask for. George Harrison knew this.

    Seeing Spiders from Mars those two nights at The Santa Monica Civic, October 1972, changed my life forever! "came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan"... ❤‍🔥
