In an article posted by Collider this past December, the publication wrote a listicle right before Christmas about what they think the Top 25 "greatest classic rock albums of all time" are. Among the list included the masterpieces such as Abbey Road by The Beatles, Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, The Velvet Underground & Nico's 1967 self-titled album and 21 more iconic records, but Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars was crowned the No. 1 spot.

Inspired by the sounds and musical styles of Iggy Pop, Velvet Underground and Marc Bolan, the album tells the story of Bowie's alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, who is a fictional, androgynous, sex-obsessed and bisexual alien rockstar who is sent to Earth. The album consists of 11 songs, including a cover of Ron Davies' "It Ain't Easy," which was the first song to be recorded.
In "Star," Ziggy is wondering if he could make it as a rock star and if it would be worth it, and in the next track, "Hang On to Yourself," he is put in front of a crowd to perform. As fame and stardom get to Ziggy, it eventually leads to his downfall, which is sung about in "Ziggy Stardust." The final track, "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide," is the alien's cry for help, before he dies on stage.

"It was a pudding of new ideas. And we were terribly excited, and I think we took it on our shoulders that we were creating the 21st century in 1971. That was the idea."
