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

Popular Reviews

A few undeniable hits but the rest is BORING 90s contemporary radio filler

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

All Ratings (686)

Terrible. Just noise.

Repetitive soft rock

Lots of covers

Good, but all covers?

Smiths-esque, but eh

surprisingly jazzy?

Funky new wave. I like this.

This is too much B-52s

Very noisy

Kinda Coldplay-esque

Lots of classics here

First song was good, rest is elevator music

way too many skits

Would be a 3 if this was shorter

That was a lot of ABBA

Boring cheesy 80s ballads, nonstop

Funk? Ska? Metal?

Obviously

Ok background music I guess?

This was a surprise. Kinda silly, but beautiful folk

All started to feel like the same song

Surprising 4.5ish for me. There's way more going on here than I would have thought from being only moderately familiar with a few of the singles.

Would probably be a 1.5 but I need to save the 1 stars for the truly awful stuff. This wasn't truly awful, just very boring.

Interesting. Definitely one I wouldn't have found/listened to otherwise.

Cutrate Beatles?

I love Bowie but this late career avant garde stuff aint it

Hmm. Very experimental.

Yuck.

This all kinda sounds the same

Meh, I like a song or two but not an entire album I guess

Pretty typical big band stuff

Meh, this is definitely U2

Boring

Fun, but a lot of Buddy Holly

I kinda see some MF DOOM overlap here, but a ton of this has aged poorly. Like, REALLY poorly.

This was good. Proto punk

Meh

meh

Boring background music

A few undeniable hits but the rest is BORING 90s contemporary radio filler

dentist rock

anyway, here's Wonderwall

Good background music? Funky hotel lobby?

Dull 90s folk-pop

Frenetic

4x 18 minute prog jazz/ prog rock. Nope, not for me.

this sucked

Noisy! But not bad? Neighbor bump I guess.

Rockabilly punk? Kinda B52 esque? Fun

Temu Bob Dylan

Nice try Diddy. But really, this was great.

Fart noise

whatever. this is 90s sitcom background music.

Ehhhh. Honestly wish there weren't so many guest vocals.

Is this satire? I don't get it.

"art" "rock"

too smooth jazz-y

industrial rock deez nuts

2 GOATs combine to make a not GOAT album

Now That's What I Call Goblin-Summoning Music

The Beatles, stop fighting, here, in India

The Beatles, stop fighting

Dentist rock

Not the best S+G, but enjoyable enough. Just...too much at times?

no Red Red Wine, no high score

Goth-y

This was fun. Wasn't aware of Bjorks band, now I am

🤘

Some U2 is ok but this ain't it chief

Incubus just feels so dated to me, and I didn't particularly like it when it was contemporary

One Bop After Another

cut rate MJ

Fun!

wtf

sounds like the 60s. 2 hits, the rest was pretty bland though.

This is sounds like a cover band of 80s bar rock. Bleh

~*~*~ urge to start gloving intensifies ~*~*~

3rd best Gorillaz album with the best Gorillaz song

This was good. What I like this list for.

Stupid. This just barely scrapes past being a 1/5.

childish

this slightly overcame my irrational hate of the smashing pumpkins

60s bossa nova should be a bit more up my alley, but this got tedious real quick

started pretty strong, ended not as strong. Still decent.

this was pretty boring

Feels unfinished

Sounds like 2013, which was a good year

pre-disco Bee Gees. Eh.

This list is, conservatively, 20% Damon Albarn. That said, this was fine.

I can see why people like this album so much 👉😎👉

Dreamy. I liked it.

long techno album. Could be a good background album I guess, but not my speed

This was a new one. Good voice but this drifted into showtunes-like stuff too often for my taste

kd lang is a country singer? Who knew. Good, but got too loungy.

This is why I like this list. Totally new to me. This was great!

lots of 80s going on (non-derogatory)

One hit wonders should stay that way

How dare this list challenge my preconceived notions about Steely Dan

maybe sacrilege, but this just gets too experimental for my caveman brain

Prog rock queen? Not bad.

Masterpiece, obviously.

Nu-metal? More like ew-metal!

You just know this absolutely crushed at an intellectual dinner party in the 90s

lots of hits here, but this trended too easy listening to get 4 in my book.

your mom loved listening to this on cassette in her Chrysler Town + Country (non-derogatory)

So much good stuff on here, with a lot of variable, well executed songs

lol wut

lots of noise while waiting for paper planes

Indie sleaze will never die

Noise. This was dumb.
