267 David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders

Described as a rock opera and also a loose concept album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is about Bowie's titular alter ego Ziggy Stardust, a fictional androgynous bisexual rock star who acts as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings that would like to save the world but only have a limited time to do so. The narrative of the story quick dissolves but our love of this album does not.
