David Bowie’s truly groundbreaking and hugely influential album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which was first released 40 years ago, June 6, 1972.
The storyline is based on a fictional rock star named Ziggy Stardust. Ziggy is the human manifestation of an alien trying to send a message to society in its last five years of existence.
Released in June of 1972, Ziggy Stardust was Bowie’s most successful album up to that time. Few albums are able to remain relevant for a decade, let alone four.

Starman is my favorite tune from Ziggy. One of many from the collection of Bowie.
