And that's what I need for a ten. So I'm giving this album a nine. Have at me, fiends.

Talk about "overrated." After I heard this album realised I overrated "When the Kite String Poops." Because in my opinion it doesn't make sense for this Ziggy Stardust ... to be a 10 while WTKSP is a 7. That only a three point difference, and I think the spread should be more like a difference of five points or more - just my opinion.
I understand not every song is a 10/10. However songs like "Starman" and "Hang on to Yourself" pulls the rest of the album up to 10. Right or wrong, nostalgia played a factor. Bowie was one of the first music artist I liked. He had a knack for picking good guitar players. More often than not Mick Ronson's talent is either overlooked or under appreciated. I really like Mick Ronson's guitar playing on this album so I am voting 10 for him too.
Judging how the poll is trending this album deserves the rating it gets.
