The Beatles’ last great album, and the album that truly let George Harrison shine as a songwriter.
Nominated by
DJ Cheshire Cat of Wonderland.
DJ Cheshire Cat says:
The first time I spun this vinyl, I ended up with my arms around the speakers trying to get as close as possible to the amazing, electric sound that was overloading my brain. Inspired by Roger Water’s feeling of alienation from his audience and his childhood losses, the album is dominated by his strangled pain and anger. Well composed with leitmotifs signifying recurring emotional strains, the music is brilliantly performed by Waters, Mason, Wright, and especially Gilmour.

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)
Rick Reaction.
Fluccs Capacitor says:
Certainly the best produced and lyrically dense projects that is rightfully so the ‘best’ hip hop album. For a teenage poet to narrate life from NYC’s Queensbridge Projects with clarity, fatalism, bravado and wisdom with a relaxed flow, slang spilling out of every sentence to craft gritty street narratives illustrated life from a keen eyed teenager with wild fantasies puncturing the daily desperation evident in Nas’s lyrics.
27. Grateful Dead – Working Man’s Dead [1970]
Nominated by
DJ Steve of WESU Sports & Beyond.
DJ Steve says: I was fortunate to live in NYC and see the Dead perform almost all of these songs before the albums were released. I went to a lot Dead shows.
