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. [First added to this chart: 08/24/2013]

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. [First added to this chart: 08/24/2013]
