A top ten-favourite, “Cousin” Van is hard to pin down with albums. Moondance typically tops them all for having a personal fav, “Caravan”, in the track list.

Psychedelic Rick of The Psychedelicatessen.
Unlike its predecessor Hunky Dory, which was generally piano-led, the songs on Ziggy Stardust are primarily guitar-based, mostly due to the departure of keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The songs were influenced by the singer-songwriters Iggy Pop of the Stooges, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, and Marc Bolan of T. Rex. Two songs, “Moonage Daydream” and “Hang On to Yourself”, were originally recorded by Bowie in early 1971 with another band, Arnold Corns, before being rerecorded for Ziggy Stardust. The album’s lyrics discuss the artificiality of rock music, political issues, drug use, sexual orientation and stardom. (wikipedia.org)
