The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

All Ratings

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

🤘🤘 A classic. Some underdogs I liked were Houses of the Holy and In the Light.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Never heard of him before this besides hearing Pink Moon on his 1972 album. I dig the folky-ness of his sound.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

3/5

Recognized a few of the songs, but haven't ever sat down and listened to Chicago. Had that 70s-ish funky-ish sound. Even though it's not my favorite genre, I liked the big band feel.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Besides the popular ones, I really liked Planet Telex 🪐, Just and My Iron Lung 🫁. First time sitting down and listening to Radiohead 🤘

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

I like the funkiness. My favorite hidden gem song is Mellow Slinky in B Major

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Freddie Mercury is awesome. I liked Brighton Rock, Killer Queen and She Makes Me.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

3/5

I can appreciate this album and will probably re-listen to it someday; however, it isn't my favorite. I like electronic, but drum & bass type electronic was a little before my time.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

It was pretty good. Very 80's sounding. I probably liked the Never Let Me Down Again the most.

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

2/5

It wasn't horrible, but questioning why this one was on the list. I could see my mom enjoying it though no cap. Mother's vacuuming music genre.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

I love this album. I've always heard the popular songs by Yeah Yeah Yeah's like Maps or Heads Will Roll, but this album has a lot of hidden gems like Zero, Soft Shock, Skeletons, etc.

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

I thought I would like this album more, but maybe it's because I've heard self-esteem so much and his voice sounds similar in most of the songs. Definitely cherished this band during my angsty skateboarding days.

Kenza

Khaled

2/5

Interesting. I couldn't find the album on Spotify so I had to go with a Youtube playlist of the album and it sounded like it was mostly covers of other songs. Not sure if the songs I listened to were really a part of the album who knows.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

I really liked this one. I remember hearing 21st Century Schizoid Man during a skateboarding video when I was younger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1y6F1VodbM).

Out of Step

Minor Threat

3/5

I like the punk era music. This fits in well with that

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

First time fully listening to a The Smiths album. I liked it, somewhat dreamlike. Only con is a lot of the songs sounds kinda similar.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

I've never heard of them, but really liked this. My sister can't believe I've never heard this album before.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

Not my favorite style but I like some of the songs

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

Never been a huge fan but like the guitar parts

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

4/5

Classic. Didn't know they used that beat that's in It's Nasty

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

He's the dude. Love the Ziggy Stardust guitar riff

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Not a huge fan. Better than I was expecting. Probably would like it more if I grew up during this time.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

4/5

I like the shoe-gazey music and this was apparently the first introduction

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

I really liked this album. Something about it makes me feel happy and nostalgic. Probably because Wake Up was on the Where the Wild Things Are movie soundtrack (which ended up being a depressing movie and kinda of a let down from the kid's book).

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Haven't heard of them before (Oops). They rock. Love the guitar riffs

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis
