I really don’t like Starman. Awful.
I Like Moonage, and fond of title track, bizarrely experienced through Bauhaus in the first instance, I like the riff. The lyrics don’t make sense as a cover version, really.

I really don’t like Starman. Awful. it's not doing incredibly well in the poll either, which surprises me a bit.

To me it is certainly a masterpiece. That said he's made better albums. At least one.
Hard to single out a track but today I'll go for Rock & Roll Suicide

And it's quite basic as a song, some of the others have a bit more to 'em. But I think for many of us, there's not a lot to choose between them.

It is pretty daring opening with a long, slow number, however. I think this is one of his most Lennon-esque decisions, straight out of Plastic Ono Band ("Mother"). I never considered that before, you could be right. In fact it continues to ramp up slowly, Moonage Daydream is the first real belter and thats nearly ten minutes in. A lesser album would have put Five Years and Soul Love in the middle/end.

Magical record. I love it more than words than say. And I'll love it twice as much tomorrow.

I actually avoided picking suffragette with each of my three choices. maybe it would be all THREE choices if I were being honest about it. I'm not honest. ask anybody. I took.. moonage daydream, star and hang onto yourself. they still to send the thrill down my leg as much as suffragette does.
Ronson's solo on moonage had a lot to do with my giving myself over to the thing. My dad decided that Bowie was a big poofter and anybody who played his music needed to be rehabilitated. Most of the people I liked at school were getting mullets and all that sort of thing. I didn't go for all that but I was a closet Bowie fan starting here. RCA must have dropped all his previous albums out of airplanes because they were suddenly everywhere.
I think it's still got it's looks at 50. it was a game changer in a lot of ways. it's classic rock now but it certainly was a finger in the eye for a lot of people like my dad. it's slick. the lyrics sound like they mean something. I'd recently read "stranger in a strange land" for the first time so any idea I had about Ziggy's "plot" was pretty hair brained.

I still swoon.
Side One is ridiculously amazing!
And, yeah, "Star", "Suicide", "Lady Stardust".
(I voted 5Y, Moonage, and Suicide)
Mick Ronson for President.

50 years since his last concert as Ziggy. What a ridiculous piece of con-merchant theatre!
I'm off to see the film tonight. Will report back.
