The first L.P. I ever owned. I still play it today a great album every track is good. Best tracks are Get It, On Life's A Gas and Jeepster the closing track Rip Off and the opening track Mambo Sun would have been great singles.

Another great Bowie album from the 70's (1971) this was the album before Ziggy and contains the standards Life On Mars, Changes & Oh You Pretty Things/ But the album is more than that it shows Bowie progressing as a singer & songwriter Quicksand & The Bewlay Brothers are brilliant tracks and along with Queen Bitch & Andy Warhol make this a must have album.

This is my favourite Stones album quickly followed by Exile On Main St. Sticky Fingers is a great album but songs such as Sister Morphine, Bitch & Wild Horses along with Brown sugar deserve a special mention.
