This was a serendipitous first album pick. When I was 11 or so, a boy at summer camp was shocked to hear that I didn't really "like" music or have any favorite bands, and leant me some CDs to try out. The first was "David Bowie". And I didn't like it. I don't think I even finished it. I liked this album okay. The songs I really liked were Five Years, Rock-'n'-roll Suicide, and Ziggy Stardust. It's hard to judge a song like Starman that I've heard a million times. The rest were forgettable or I didn't like. A lot of elements felt dated, both in production and lyrics (on Five Years the singer refers to a person as "a black"). But some lyrics were quite fun, especially Ziggy Stardust (he was the nazz!). The songs I liked made me feel something, Five Years especially. That's what I want in a song. 6/10.
