Phenomenal. Took me a while to get, but once I did...Currently my favorite of his, though Low and Hunky Dory are also always constantly vying (is that how you spell that?) for that position.

My second favorite Bowie release, behind Aladdin Sane. What a great record.

[JMan]

Fantastic album! I usually don't enjoy Bowie, but this album had all of Bowie's best works IMO. This album was once in my top 20 but is now in the top 30.

Masterpiece. Just stunning. Hmm... favorite track? I'll go with Moonage Daydream.

Please people tell why it's so good, I do like Bowie, I really like the album Young Americans and some of his other songs. But Ziggy Stardust ... I don't get it, I really don't like it and it's sad 'cause I've got nothing against Bowie and I think I'm missing something ...

Yeah, this is the best Bowie album, favourite track is probably Suffragette City at the moment.
Currently in the lower half of my top 100 and high up my 1970's chart (Along with 5 over Bowie albums...).

Far and away the best Bowie album. I love that bombardment of strings right at the very end, fantastic closer.

I found it to be very underwhelming. I must listen to it again to see if it has an effect on me again because I want to like Bowie - listened to a best of in my dad's car and thought "you know what, I might actually dig his style". I'll probably re-listen to it after Hunky Dory

This has been one of my favorite albums since I was very little, and easily ranked as my favorite Bowie album over Hunky Dory and Low. Many will disagree but Ziggy has always felt like Bowie's most consistent album. There's not a single song here I don't like. And Rock & Roll Suicide is one of the all time great vocal performances.
