The Music Slut Committee
Steve"As with Zach, I had heard a bunch of these songs before but rarely ever listened to it through. And this was a weird week, because I was also pretty unfamiliar with the album and put it on, not to share it as a Ziggy Expert, but to rediscover it. So I had a great time even though, as you all have mentioned, the back half does sorta drag until we get to Suffragette City.
It's admitted not nearly as Queer Exportation-y as our last two albums, but to Steve's point, its kind of incredible that Bowie got to be Bowie his way at that time. Pioneering and proud, its great. Bisexuals are truly more enlightened than everyone else." - Alex

Top 100+1
FerryKeep your electric eye on me, babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!

EVERY ALBUM I’VE LISTENED TO EVER
PepperThis album makes me go wowie zowie. From the lyrics to the emotional climaxes, this album never fails to make me feel less bad about my oddities.

David Bowie
Neil HopkinsI think that seeing David Bowie singing Starman on Top of the Pops is one of my earliest musical memories and was certainly the first time I thought that music could be transgressive and thrilling, even if I couldn’t have expressed it in those words at that age. I just knew that here was something new and different, and that it would be part of my life forever more. This album still moves me more than fifty years later and is still astonishingly prescient.

Favorite Albums of All Time
Stu(1972)
"Femme fatales emerged from shadows to watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs to make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
Lady Stardust sang his songs of darkness and dismay..."
There are Bowie snobs who will try to tell you that Bowie’s best album is “Hunky Dory” or “Low,” but they’re just being contrarian. Everyone knows this is his best! This is that rare album that picks up steam as it goes along: all of the rockers are on Side 2. The entire album is great, though - not a skip in the bunch!
