The Spiders from Mars Part 1

The Ziggy Stardust album released in 1972

All of you have probably heard of David Bowie. He made great music back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's and is still making new music today. I may talk about his new music in a later post, but for now, I'm here to talk about his Ziggy Stardust era.

To start, Ziggy Stardust is one of David Bowie's personas and toured as Ziggy with his band the Spiders From Mars for part of the 70's.

The album depicts the life of Ziggy Stardust, a guitar playing alien on Earth. It's a really amazing album. Go listen to it right now.




This is just the start of picking this album apart. Be sure to visit later to hear songs from the album, see pictures from the Ziggy Stardust era, learn some interesting facts about the band and the album, and much more.

David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) and Mick Ronson.
Ronson is a fantastic guitarist by the way.

At the bottom it says "to be played at maximum volume."
