Z - ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars, david bowie (1972)

'the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars' is for some reason - i am unclear exactly what that reason may be - listed just as 'ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars' in my ipod, so i didn't feel at all like i was cheating by listening to it to finish the alphabet.

i love that an album recorded well before i was even thought about is still a masterpiece today. 'suffragette city' is one of my all-time favourite songs - in my opinion a totally underrated little track, rock and roll exemplified, and despite appearing on this album from 1972, wasn't released as a single until 1976.

a concept album, ziggy is the ultimate rockstar anti-hero -- my kinda guy, and a good way to finish the alphabet.



alphabet finished.... so what now, huh?
