@@Allen-fi4ke Jealous ! of what ? he was just a failed mime artist who copied his act from an old performer, He was no more talented than myself, Now put that in your pipe and smoke it, If your going to inflate an average performer into some superstar, then that shows your lack of musical maturity, and Knowledge of life itself, Adios Amigo !

Kids say or in this case sing the darnedest things. But keeping life on the reality of truth and honesty is what is so special about our kids as they navigate thru life and all it gives.
This may be one of the greatest albums start to finish ever recorded. Masterpiece is an under statement. Never a fan of Bowie this work of his just grew on me more and more till now it's one of a handfull believed to be a top five all time best ever recorded. It was always very popular With the gay's mostly men but it transcends all labels, notions, or judged anything but perfect no matter what your about or how you perceive it. It is wonderfull!wonderfully!! Done no matter how you look at it listen to or relate to it.
My Bowie story...Absolutely love this album, and the man (RIP). Long ago, when this album was new I’ll have to admit it was listened to frequently. My daughter, now 50, but who at the time in kindergarten was asked to sing a little of her favorite song up in front of the class. She belted out “wham bam thank you ma’m”. My phone rang shortly thereafter with one irate teacher on the line. So it goes. My daughter actually turned out fine, is a chemist, mother of two, and yes, still a Bowie fan.
How he re-invented himself over and over through the years, but he still remained himself at the same time...such an enormous talent...so glad I was a kid when this came out...
I skip Suffragette City because they've killed the song for me on the radio. That said this is my # 1 desert Island album and I've been listening to it since I was about 10 in 1974. I've easily literally listen to this album 1000 time over the last 50 years.

BRIGHT, SHINING NIGHTLIGHTS of infinite beauty....if you have been LUCKY ENOUGH to have seen the REAL NIGHTSKY outside miles & miles away from any city !
I absolutely agree, but I actually prefer his versions of these on the double David live, but that's just me. I liked all David's stuff but his ziggy starburst persona was and is still my most favorite. But different strokes for different folks.
Blues, jazz, rock, rock'n roll, punk rock, and the ever present creations adding his style to the roots, listening to him and his band again, I gained more appreciation for his work.
The “To be played at maximum volume” instruction on the back of the album jacket was pretty cool, I thought when I was a teenager. I used to play it on my parents huge turntable stereo. Five years is the perfect way to begin this dark epic, setting the mood and theme. There’s not a bad song on it, and from what I’ve seen in documentaries and have read, the band had to learn the songs and come up with parts on the fly, giving the album a fresh, almost live feel.
The reason for max volume is that Bowie pioneered the 16 and 24 track recording. At max volume it sounds totally different as the background tracks come alive.
still have my old mans original copy who died when i was very young, infinitely thankful this was one of the first records i ever discovered in my life.
At fourteen went to see him at MSG NYC. 1974 wearing six inch wood platform green suede sandals..and a white tight button down dress. My friend Kim was wearing a green silk suit .We really knew how to dress back then.The crowd was MAGNIFICENT 💚
When this dropped, I was a naïve virgin fully committed Methodist teen. I felt I had found my true universe with this album. I still do at 68. Here we come, Nomi.
One of my Mum's ultimate favourites. Ziggy was one of my pet-names when i was a baby. She chose 'Five Years' as one of the songs for her funeral. Haven't been able to muster the courage to listen to it without falling to pieces. But it STILL is a f*cking great album and should be enjoyed thoroughly, to say it in a sappy way 'it's what she would've wanted anyway'. Here's to Mum!
Your Mom had impeccable taste- Bowie was is always will be an Artist in the fullest sense of the word. Genius. Prophet. Your Mom passed on the Knowledge- well done Mom you did it 💗🙏🏽🕊️
One has to listen to this album every now and then for two reasons. 1 To remember what a genius David Bowie was and hear some good tunes 2 To wash the crap that's passed off as music pushed at me these days the hell out of my head.
I suggest you open your mind to different and newer styles of music. Older music like this is beautiful and timeless, but there will always be amazing artists that want to create amazing music. Older generations have always hated new music. Classical composers from europe hated the jazz sounds coming from the Harlem renaissance, jazz composers hated the new rock sounds coming from Led Zeppelin and pink floyd, and yes david bowie. And now rock artists hate the new hip hop sounds and modern music. We have to break that chain and appreciate all styles of music from all generations. Theres good and bad music coming out every single year. Bad songs from 1972 and good songs in 2023, and everywhere in between.
@@spencerhinds2803 I was in high school when this album came out. I kinda have to agree with leecoops2002. This is one of my go to albums also. But, I have to say, not all boomers are as you say. I agree there will always be outstanding new musicians. I love it when someone comes out with something new that is ahead of it's time. And to find those artists one must go out of their comfort zone. For example, when rap hit the streets, when I was a heavy rocker, I was blown away by the audacity of it all. I had to go on the downlow to listen to it. Cuz' none of my friends wanted to have anything to do with it. I can't blame them though, living in Brooklyn at the time when racial tensions were real. When rap was underground I started listening to it. I was not impressed until gangster rap was prominent. Thats when it came full circle for me. I see your point, you have to be open minded to appreciate what all music has to offer.
I don't know how old you are but his early albums had written on it to "play at maximum volume,l wish l hadn't,but we didn't know back then about the damage done to hearing by the maximum volume.
I worked as a designer at the label that did all the remasters for CD. One day laying on a desk was the original artwork for the album. I was transfixed, lifting the overlays and seeing the original hand tinted black and white photo, it was pretty special.
The first album I ever bought,caught the bus down to my local Woolworths to get it. The opening track "Five years' was so ahead of it's time,will stay with me forever!
This album had such a huge impact on me when I first heard it in my early teens in the 70s. I’d never seen or heard anything like Bowie & he awakened my own creativity and desire to explore my artistic identity. I still get shivers when I listen to it now and I can still sing all of the words after so many listens in my youth. Just regret I never went to see him perform.
I was amazed when I read my friend's sister's vinyl album cover in about 1973 or 74. On the back of the cover "TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME" Cracked me up, never seen that on an album cover before.
They will be talking about this album 300 years after we are long gone, just like we talk about Mozart and Beethoven now. Glad to have seen him in 83 and 89! God Bless You David! Thanks for the wonderful memories!
He was the boss Smiling and waving and looking so fine Don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
Right when he passed away, I felt a huge ripple go across the planet. Like he was here helping us all and doing things in his life to help the whole of humanity. He was truly an amazing being. I miss him. ❤😊
Met him before he died , had a lovely coffee and chatted about music in general and the future of it …he was so hopeful , I said so you should be , you opened the doors :)
Far from a fan of critics, they got this one right. Nearly every one of them was floored by this album. What's not to like? It's got those catchy, top-40 hits, insightful, dark, questioning lyrics, great musicianship, and great variety. RIP Starman.
This was the very first LP I ever owned (on cassette) bought with my pocket money for $4.99 AUD in 1974. I was 12. Now I’m 62 and still love to play it LOUD.
R.I.P.David B, you were such a jolt for me, Rest In Peace is what they think. Raucous In Paradise til the universe sinks, deep into God's black hole, R.I.P. David B.you still send a jolt to me. And Mick, you too could shock, together the two of you sure rocked, a jolt a shock they're both the same an electric current to the brain, never have we been the same. R.I. P Dave and Mick you stretch the limits and bent your strings, visually and in ears that still ring, so glad you were here to do your things! God Love Ya Brothers, Ronster
I saw him and the spiders in 1972 after the first song he brought his friend Lou Reed out to play keyboards . It really was a great concert and a great time to be 17 yrs. Old .
My review of each track Five Years - So good a classic opener of any album and that simple rhythm just makes it so much better than most other artists in total. Soul Love - It feels like it is from the Caribbean with that simple rhythm created at the start and such a great story created by Bowie. Moonage Daydream - Weird lyrics but awesomely sung by Bowie and one of my personal favourites. Starman - A classic song about the saviour that Ziggy believed in. With that guitar line at the end of the chorus and the strings make this a brilliant song. It Ain't Easy - The harpsichord line in the verses is a great line and the harmonies in the chorus just make this a brilliant track. Lady Stardust - I am probably alone in saying that this is one of the best songs on the album. I really like the piano on this as it is one of the key parts of Bowies sound in the early 70s. Star - A fast paced glam rock banger just stabbing at the chords in the song. Really like this one Hang on to Yourself - Fast pace rock song that I forgot how much I liked. It is so good with that bassline going all over the place at that speed requires some recognition. Ziggy Stardust - one of the most iconic riffs in rock 'n' roll. This tells us about the demise of the great Ziggy stardust making the best end to any glam rock God, real or fake. Suffragette City - That opening riff is awesome going into that repeat of 'Hey Man' in the verse and that piano stabbing amongst the synths make an absolute banger in the album. Probably my favouite. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide - This is a great closer saying how Ziggy has ended and it ended with a bang. I feel because of the line 'Your not alone' makes it seem that he is isolated like Pink in Pink Floyds 'The Wall'
What an amazing artist! I didn't appreciate him in the 70's, being a prog snob but; I'm staggered by his simple complexities in his many albums now...It's fun to discover something so profound...Kudos to those that recognized his genius in those early decades.
*Five Years* 0:01 Pushing through the market square So many mothers sighing News had just come over We had five years left to cry in (cry in) News guy wept and told us Earth was really dying (dying) Cried so much his face was wet Then I knew he was not lying (lying) I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there And all the fat, skinny people And all the tall, short people And all the nobody people And all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people A girl my age went off her head Hit some tiny children If the black hadn't have pulled her off I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at the sight of that I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour Drinking milkshakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine Don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got
Happy 50th anniversary to a certified classic album. Rest in Peace David Bowie Mick Ronson and Mick Rock who all played a role in the mythology of this LP.
I was just stating that Ziggy was my favorite Bowie gendre, I've always liked Bowie,but like l said the Ziggy era was by far my favorite period,l also saw him 10 times between 71-91,l love country,western,Motown, Alice in chains,ac/dc,l love Heavy D,and all types of rock,hard rock,soft rock.
David left a legacy that will last an infinity, I was a teen when I first heard changes and immediately became a fan , ziggy will live forever picking up new fans year after year
Wow what a groundbreaking album. Never bought it because most of these songs were on the radio. But to listen to the album in it's entirety is amazing in context with other music of 1972
I so remember my brother letting me hear this on his big earphones in the day when I was 7 and I was utterly blown away fantastic. Its still fantastic and I just thank god I was the age I was and so glad I got to hear this when it was new xx
I'm 23, and I first discovered Bowie in a movie called "Shrek 2" and the song was 'changes', I must've watched that movie so many times just bc of that song I was just kid then probably 7 or 8, but fast forward years later middle school, at this point I still don't know who Bowie is but I still memorized that song, I was singing it in English class my teacher heard me singing it and asked "what're you singing boy?" I then told him "I honestly don't know I heard it in a movie but it's my favorite song" after class he asked if I was coming in today to play him chess during lunch I said ofc, as I walk down the hall preparing myself to play him chess and strategizing which moves I'm going to use against him, and I hear it...
Revisiting rock patterns of the 50's in a new fashion.I think Soul Love and Starman are my best. With one album, Bowie proved he was a genius.They were so many at the time...
Bought this album in 1972 - now I'm an old fart and still listening to it. Once more proving what an amazing man David B. was and how he was the soundtrack to so many of our lives. We were just so fortunate to have him. The universe will no doubt have a special place for him. Maybe a Star of his own. Cool.
Any man who dies without salvation through Christ is lost. I don’t know what his fate is- but making good music or being generous or witty or anything else will not buy salvation from sin & death.
I also listened to this at age 15, although I am a zoomer. I saw my classmates have girlfriends and get laid while I did not. I coped by telling myself it would happen for me as well, because I did not understand how evil this world is. I saw how school was trying to get me to hate myself for being White. They'd show us videos and pictures of historical White men lynching non-Whites, or wearing Klan-robes or SS uniforms. They wanted us to identify with them and hate ourselves for it. It worked on the girls. I saw how they were crying and I hated my teachers for the brainwashing they made us go through. Was this why they threw themselves on their backs for non-White men? As I was going through this antiwhite indoctrination, I saw ISIS committing all sorts of antiwhite terror attacks all over the European cities. I understood that my antiwhite teachers were behind the blood covered streets of Europe. Their antiwhitism has spread through every corner of Western civilization, and even the third world. It became apparent to me that I was under threat, and so is every White man. If the West falls, we fall. There is no escape, and even if there was, what cowards would we be if we escaped, when we have been taught all through our childhoods to stand against evil? I am writing this because I see on your profile picture that you have identified the evils of communism and therefore I wanted to share my experience.
I live down the street from his home that his manager bought, but he lived in a lot in Maui. I often go to his driveway and sit there. His presence is still with us.
ONE of the many years ...in retrospect any year is a GREAT YEAR FOR MUSIC ...apart from when radio/rapcrap entered the scene , then it all went to SHIT ?.
Cet album est à l'interieur de mes cellules !!! que dire de plus ....jamais je ne m'en lasse .... chaque note et chaque paroles , idées , histoire , delire ..tout est à l'interieur .....
My brother passed away last week but just as you were turned on in 72 i was born. And you know the radio filled with bowie trex and the very last elvis stuff man . I saw him live in milton keynes bowl where we had to wait for four extra hours till the darkness was best for the light screen. RIP . Changes , rise in person
This album will be listened to hundreds of years from. Like the greats from the 17th century, students of music will study DB and other greats of that truly amazing period in western art.
Miss My Most Loved Beloved Most Missed. And I’ll never be able to fill that hole in my heart. But I refuse to not live. He’ll still live there, in the spot that I’d prepared for him, and that will never be filled by anyone else.
Listened to this for the very first time while skateboarding, I had already listened to Rock and roll suicide, and as it turns out it’s even better with the rest of the album, this whole album is amazing. RIP David Bowie, truly a legend
This is one of the 10 albums I would take with me on a desert island stranded with a record player. It’s the reason I took up playing guitar 50+ years ago. Mike Ronson’s philosophy was to plug in his Les Paul, turn the amp volume to 10, and whale on the guitar! I agree.
First of all thank you for the channel 1st time long time. Yes, I agree. This is one of the best albums of all times. It really shocked my world when David went away but we still have his music dreams great

Sounds like an awesome experience!
Sometimes, timing is everything. I was 11 when the album came out, think I heard it when I was 11 or 12. A game changer.
The only time he was ever my favorite was between 1970-1975, during his Ziggy days.
Masterpiece. Bowie at his Peak
I heard this the first time I was 8 years old. My brother is 8 years older than myself so I was lucky enough to grow up with some great music.
Not many albums you can listen to and not have to skip. This is one of those albums ❤❤❤
I have over 350 vinyl albums in my collection, and every track on the album is gold.
thats pretty cool dude@@flammaferus2998
No filler whatsoever on this album.
I never skip songs on an album. If an artist can't produce an album with all good songs, the album isn't worth my money or my time.
I skip Suffragette City because they've killed the song for me on the radio. That said this is my # 1 desert Island album and I've been listening to it since I was about 10 in 1974. I've easily literally listen to this album 1000 time over the last 50 years.

I worked as a designer at the label that did all the remasters for CD. One day laying on a desk was the original artwork for the album. I was transfixed, lifting the overlays and seeing the original hand tinted black and white photo, it was pretty special.
Awesome ZSATSFM cover is one of those album covers that transfixes me, thanks for the story
This album is glorious. Glory to Bowie for all eternity.
It wouldn't have happened without Ken Scott.
Beyond classic album, so beautifully orchestrated, spare, unfussy, great vocals, BOWIE FOREVER !!!
"spare, unfussy" super obs. Yet twas v. baroque at the same time. hmmm...
Oh, David! If only you could've lived to see your masterpiece turn 50. I still miss you, Starman!
The first album I ever bought,caught the bus down to my local Woolworths to get it. The opening track "Five years' was so ahead of it's time,will stay with me forever!
The whole album musically was ahead of it's time.
Yes but I loved Hunky dory first
for sure Colin.
My dad gave me this album for my 12th birthday. I loved it then and I still love it. R.I.P.
Your dad was obviously more hip than mine.
Holy cow, your dad was cool AF. I got the Polar opposite. He was a verbally abusive racist Narcissistic flaming anal pore.
@@markhunter8554 haha thanks, I think. lol
This album had such a huge impact on me when I first heard it in my early teens in the 70s. I’d never seen or heard anything like Bowie & he awakened my own creativity and desire to explore my artistic identity. I still get shivers when I listen to it now and I can still sing all of the words after so many listens in my youth. Just regret I never went to see him perform.
Got to see bowie at the Roxy in L.A. 1993!! With his then band Tin Machine -- all of them, including hunt sales from the stooges, dressed in suits.
I was amazed when I read my friend's sister's vinyl album cover in about 1973 or 74. On the back of the cover "TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME" Cracked me up, never seen that on an album cover before.

They will be talking about this album 300 years after we are long gone, just like we talk about Mozart and Beethoven now. Glad to have seen him in 83 and 89! God Bless You David! Thanks for the wonderful memories!
Why? Because it changed music forever ❤
Saw him in 76 ! Denver , front row center stage ! Devastated when he left us . ( Isolar tour , ) God Bless the Thin White Duke !
Completely agree, saw him in Oakland at the " let's dance " tour, wished I could have seen him with mick ronson
Saw him in 1983 as well
Let's hope there will still be electricity and an adequate player at that time!
WOW. Haven't heard this album in years. But I remembered every word. Used to listen to it a lot. A truly great album.
maybe you should listen more often. I find alot of inspiration in this. for like 50 years
That's the sign of a great album that really made a deep impression on you...same here...remember every word
He was the boss
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
Right when he passed away, I felt a huge ripple go across the planet. Like he was here helping us all and doing things in his life to help the whole of humanity. He was truly an amazing being. I miss him. ❤😊
I feel the same way, without Bowie the world is not the same, I miss him so much ❤
@@01aleph "Ziggy played guitar....." I was 13....we were "changing the world". Now I'm jaded AF. I hope there really are spiders on Mars.
@@lorrainekay13I also hope that spiders and Ziggy are on Mars, cheers mate.
Met him before he died , had a lovely coffee and chatted about music in general and the future of it …he was so hopeful , I said so you should be , you opened the doors :)
Do tell more .... please
How close was this meeting to his death?
This was my first ever album. I managed to see him live in Glasgowi in 1973. Miss you David/ zingy. Your musicli lives on RIp
I missed that show, but my pal was there. I saw him first at the Apollo in 1978 when he did four nights!
Far from a fan of critics, they got this one right. Nearly every one of them was floored by this album. What's not to like? It's got those catchy, top-40 hits, insightful, dark, questioning lyrics, great musicianship, and great variety. RIP Starman.
50 years on and still as amazing and timeless as ever.....
This was the very first LP I ever owned (on cassette) bought with my pocket money for $4.99 AUD in 1974. I was 12. Now I’m 62 and still love to play it LOUD.
Bowie you are a genius- Ronno you made Bowie a genius RIP David and Ronno ❤
The Beatles have 3 of the top 5 albums of all time but i would ratjher listen to this every night loved u david and ziggy rip
R.I.P.David B, you were such a jolt for me, Rest In Peace is what they think. Raucous In Paradise til the universe sinks, deep into God's black hole, R.I.P. David B.you still send a jolt to me. And Mick, you too could shock, together the two of you sure rocked, a jolt a shock they're both the same an electric current to the brain, never have we been the same. R.I. P Dave and Mick you stretch the limits and bent your strings, visually and in ears that still ring, so glad you were here to do your things! God Love Ya Brothers, Ronster
" Press your space face close to mine love" what a line
He bewitched 4 generations of women in my family. My mom me my daughter and now hers. Thank you and God bless you R.I.P Mr. Bowie I miss you.
I saw him and the spiders in 1972 after the first song he brought his friend Lou Reed out to play keyboards . It really was a great concert and a great time to be 17 yrs. Old .
This is my coming of age Album It brings me back to the time of my life. I love you David, I will miss you until we meet again.
My review of each track
Five Years - So good a classic opener of any album and that simple rhythm just makes it so much better than most other artists in total.
Soul Love - It feels like it is from the Caribbean with that simple rhythm created at the start and such a great story created by Bowie.
Moonage Daydream - Weird lyrics but awesomely sung by Bowie and one of my personal favourites.
Starman - A classic song about the saviour that Ziggy believed in. With that guitar line at the end of the chorus and the strings make this a brilliant song.
It Ain't Easy - The harpsichord line in the verses is a great line and the harmonies in the chorus just make this a brilliant track.
Lady Stardust - I am probably alone in saying that this is one of the best songs on the album. I really like the piano on this as it is one of the key parts of Bowies sound in the early 70s.
Star - A fast paced glam rock banger just stabbing at the chords in the song. Really like this one
Hang on to Yourself - Fast pace rock song that I forgot how much I liked. It is so good with that bassline going all over the place at that speed requires some recognition.
Ziggy Stardust - one of the most iconic riffs in rock 'n' roll. This tells us about the demise of the great Ziggy stardust making the best end to any glam rock God, real or fake.
Suffragette City - That opening riff is awesome going into that repeat of 'Hey Man' in the verse and that piano stabbing amongst the synths make an absolute banger in the album. Probably my favouite.
Rock 'n' Roll Suicide - This is a great closer saying how Ziggy has ended and it ended with a bang. I feel because of the line 'Your not alone' makes it seem that he is isolated like Pink in Pink Floyds 'The Wall'
Completely agree on all of these comments... Especially several being favorites haha
GAGA needs to record LADY STARDUST and imagine this on BROADWAY
I always liked Lady Stardust (in my opinion the best song of this album)
i know right. what a haunting and serious song that could only be done by someone like Mr. David Bowie.
@@stephenfermoyle4578 ....No she does NOT because GaGa SUCKS and isn't even remotely in Bowie's universe.
First Bowie I ever heard. Still rocks me to this day.
Still sounds absolutely amazing
Never tire of this album
Masterpiece 🤟
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON BROADWAY as a MUSICAL
I agree
I hate Broadway musicals. Look at what they did to Tommy.
So mysterious, intense, intellectual and elegant glam rock masterpiece. Nostalgy of a Genius as Bowie
Bowie touched so many lives and saved many too. Deep respect .🏳️🌈
What an amazing artist! I didn't appreciate him in the 70's, being a prog snob but; I'm staggered by his simple complexities in his many albums now...It's fun to discover something so profound...Kudos to those that recognized his genius in those early decades.
*Five Years* 0:01
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in (cry in)
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying (dying)
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying (lying)
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't have pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Nice Juan. FUCK YEAH
Greta said 5 years left 6 years ago!!!! it never ends, 5 years....forever
This is the kind of music we need on the waves today. Too bad it was already done fifty years ago and it's never coming back.
Master piece album forever
The Greatest album ever made. I can’t say enough good things about it, it changed my life 👨🏻🎤
Yeah me too
This album is way ahead of it's time .
Remember when it first came out and enjoy it today as much as I did as back in the day .
Mick Ronson was a stellar guitarist.
I never heard nothing this so far away that was so ahead of its time. im in complete awe!
Bowie was a GENIUS! This album is musical mastery.
I was in junior high, when my older sister bought this LP...on the back of the album cover, read...' To be played at high volume..'
Happy 50th anniversary to a certified classic album.
Rest in Peace David Bowie Mick Ronson and Mick Rock who all played a role in the mythology of this LP.
💪👍good call brother man
TITANS OF ROCK, R.I.P
Mythology...Hammersmith Odeon
You forget Iggy Pop, the subject of the title song.
The best album 'BOWIE!!!R.I.P.with love
I was just stating that Ziggy was my favorite Bowie gendre, I've always liked Bowie,but like l said the Ziggy era was by far my favorite period,l also saw him 10 times between 71-91,l love country,western,Motown, Alice in chains,ac/dc,l love Heavy D,and all types of rock,hard rock,soft rock.
Один из лучших альбомов,не только Великого музыканта,но и рок музыки вообще
Carried the LP under my arm to many a party when we only had five years so long ago. Love and peace always David.
We used to play this cassette in the car on the way to the New Jersey shore. Everybody singing. Good times.
Wish I could have shared that journey. I braved the pissing down rain in Manchester UK to get it
David left a legacy that will last an infinity, I was a teen when I first heard changes and immediately became a fan , ziggy will live forever picking up new fans year after year
Wow what a groundbreaking album. Never bought it because most of these songs were on the radio. But to listen to the album in it's entirety is amazing in context with other music of 1972
I so remember my brother letting me hear this on his big earphones in the day when I was 7 and I was utterly blown away fantastic. Its still fantastic and I just thank god I was the age I was and so glad I got to hear this when it was new xx
Nice. what a great memory.
I have a photo of myself standing in the same position on Haddon Street as Bowie is on the cover. That was taken in 1982. It's all changed now.
Ahora eata llenó de inmigrantes, algo imperdonable.
I have pics of me signing the mural in Brixton, loved him at 14 I'm 63 now
@@scbaker5949 Ch-ch-ch-changes.
I found the spot in 2022 by accident!
I'm 23, and I first discovered Bowie in a movie called "Shrek 2" and the song was 'changes', I must've watched that movie so many times just bc of that song I was just kid then probably 7 or 8, but fast forward years later middle school, at this point I still don't know who Bowie is but I still memorized that song, I was singing it in English class my teacher heard me singing it and asked "what're you singing boy?" I then told him "I honestly don't know I heard it in a movie but it's my favorite song" after class he asked if I was coming in today to play him chess during lunch I said ofc, as I walk down the hall preparing myself to play him chess and strategizing which moves I'm going to use against him, and I hear it...
One of my top ten all time albums, to be with me on a desert island for sure.
Альбом Дэвида просто наслаждение слушать даже через столько лет памяти музыканта искренне
Awesome 1972!!
I listened to this LP everyday!
2021 I still have it!

Revisiting rock patterns of the 50's in a new fashion.I think Soul Love and Starman are my best. With one album, Bowie proved he was a genius.They were so many at the time...
Here we are in 2024❤
Still awesome in 2024 I was 17 when it came out and lived in the greatest decade, the 1970's, for music ever. RIP Sir
Still Got the Album, a Few Scratches, But Still Perfect, after all those years. RIP David XXX
Bought this album in 1972 - now I'm an old fart and still listening to it. Once more proving what an amazing man David B. was and how he was the soundtrack to so many of our lives. We were just so fortunate to have him. The universe will no doubt have a special place for him. Maybe a Star of his own. Cool.
So well written by you
Been listening for 50 years too. He's a huge part of my life. RIP David Jones.
Old Farts like us came & discovered good music that youngsters will never had
@@bienvenidovelasco6834 Hey, i'm 15 almost 16 and I absolutely love bowie, he has a special place in my heart.
Any man who dies without salvation through Christ is lost. I don’t know what his fate is- but making good music or being generous or witty or anything else will not buy salvation from sin & death.
I was a Bowie fan from 1972. Aged 15 in 1975 my first girlfriend give me this album as a gift. Brilliant. I still have it.
I also listened to this at age 15, although I am a zoomer. I saw my classmates have girlfriends and get laid while I did not. I coped by telling myself it would happen for me as well, because I did not understand how evil this world is.
I saw how school was trying to get me to hate myself for being White. They'd show us videos and pictures of historical White men lynching non-Whites, or wearing Klan-robes or SS uniforms. They wanted us to identify with them and hate ourselves for it. It worked on the girls. I saw how they were crying and I hated my teachers for the brainwashing they made us go through. Was this why they threw themselves on their backs for non-White men?
As I was going through this antiwhite indoctrination, I saw ISIS committing all sorts of antiwhite terror attacks all over the European cities. I understood that my antiwhite teachers were behind the blood covered streets of Europe. Their antiwhitism has spread through every corner of Western civilization, and even the third world.
It became apparent to me that I was under threat, and so is every White man. If the West falls, we fall. There is no escape, and even if there was, what cowards would we be if we escaped, when we have been taught all through our childhoods to stand against evil?
I am writing this because I see on your profile picture that you have identified the evils of communism and therefore I wanted to share my experience.
i still have my copy from 72 haha
@@Siegfried5846 There's no such thing as "anti whitism" nowadays
@@logimite7174 There's more now than ever before.
Same here...15 in '75'''would not trade those times for anything
I live down the street from his home that his manager bought, but he lived in a lot in Maui. I often go to his driveway and sit there. His presence is still with us.
1972 a great year for music.
ONE of the many years ...in retrospect any year is a GREAT YEAR FOR MUSIC ...apart from when radio/rapcrap entered the scene , then it all went to SHIT ?.
This is my all time favourite Bowie song ..glad i got to see him sing it live in 2004...I was lucky enough to meet him too ...R.I.P. Bowie .
Been into Bowie since '85 and today is the first day I'm listening to this LP from start to finish! 38 years on.
I’ve never paid much attention to DBs music but now I’m a fan!
Cet album est à l'interieur de mes cellules !!! que dire de plus ....jamais je ne m'en lasse .... chaque note et chaque paroles , idées , histoire , delire ..tout est à l'interieur .....
Je commence à y croire.
I WAS 13 WHEN I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM IAM NOW64 IT STILL ROCKS BOWIE WAS IN THE ZONE IN THE 70 R.I.P. DAVID YOU CHANGE MUSIC WELL DONE
Me 2!
A Clasic for all time.Listen to each instrument and voice.What an arrangement and incredible delivery. David rocks on and on...... Masterpiece!
I’m not certain I’d have survived my teenage years very well without Bowie’s music, this album in particular. 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻 TY Mr. Bowie. RIP 😢
Still my fav release; after all these many years....
My brother passed away last week but just as you were turned on in 72 i was born. And you know the radio filled with bowie trex and the very last elvis stuff man . I saw him live in milton keynes bowl where we had to wait for four extra hours till the darkness was best for the light screen. RIP . Changes , rise in person
The first Bowie album I got, and my favorite Bowie album!
This album showcases the song writing talents of David Bowie the best.
My fave album by far!!! ❤❤❤❤ Bowie changed my life and still miss him every day. What a genius!

My favourite album of all time xxxxxxx
This album will be listened to hundreds of years from. Like the greats from the 17th century, students of music will study DB and other greats of that truly amazing period in western art.
Miss My Most Loved Beloved Most Missed.
And I’ll never be able to fill that hole in my heart.
But I refuse to not live.
He’ll still live there, in the spot that I’d prepared for him, and that will never be filled by anyone else.
I really love this album. Probably the first album Ive ever loved. You always remember your first love. thanks for the great upload
Listened to this for the very first time while skateboarding, I had already listened to Rock and roll suicide, and as it turns out it’s even better with the rest of the album, this whole album is amazing.
RIP David Bowie, truly a legend
This is one of the 10 albums I would take with me on a desert island stranded with a record player. It’s the reason I took up playing guitar 50+ years ago. Mike Ronson’s philosophy was to plug in his Les Paul, turn the amp volume to 10, and whale on the guitar! I agree.
Apparently a hand/cranked hi-fi 🤔
Perhaps in every kind of Universa there is Music!
And when you are Lucky, you can apprecate the music of David Bowy in youre own "little" Universe. ❤
First of all thank you for the channel 1st time long time. Yes, I agree. This is one of the best albums of all times. It really shocked my world when David went away but we still have his music dreams great
