I think the first full Bowie album I ever listened to, and still among my top favourites. Great songs like "Five Years", "Suffragette City", "Starman" and "Rock and Roll Suicide", and of course the title track; a great (if weird) concept and of course the introduction of the title character as a literal character who would become one of the most iconic and easily recognised figures in rock music. The album suffers from a few not-quite-up-to-par tracks, for me, but it's still a solid 9 easily.

Great album.

Favorite songs:
"Moonage Daydream"
"Suffragette City"
"Starman"

Not my favorite Bowie album but it would make it into my top 5 by him. I deducted 1 point for the one cover song on the album and gave it a 9/10. Nothing wrong with his cover of "It Ain't Easy" by Ron Davies, I just prefer the original version and I think the Ziggy Stardust album would be slightly more cohesive without it.

Pretty much my reasoning :eek:

Sounds fantastic on this CD btw, forgot how much I love this album.

I have the same CD, bought it the day he died.

It sounds great. I like the packaging as well, it's exactly the same as the vinyl (other than down the side it says 40th anniversary remaster), the wallet inside with the artwork on it, it's pretty much a miniature version of the vinyl.

Today might be the first time I've played it btw

I wanted to but havent listened to it enough to cast :/

Its on my spotify previous stuff Ive listened to and I see that often and I plan to listen to it more in the next few days to vote.

I actually have the starman song on a mix cd in my car, amazing song. Made a music video for that song also.

Current rating is 8.5

10 from me, a perfect album from beginning to end. Five Years is my favorite opening track on any album, perfectly sets the tone for the rest of the album and brings everything to life. Not even my favorite Bowie album but untouchable imo.
