David Bowie - Rock And Roll Suicide (Ziggy)

David Bowie-Rock and Roll Suicide.

I have always liked this song. The final tune on Ziggy. I love a song that builds.

IMO, there is not a dog on Ziggy with every song being an integral part of the whole album. There are quite a few standouts in this collection of standouts. Liked most of his work, but Ziggy is my fav. Shout out to Aladdin Sane though. Thanks Professor for the reply.

Scary Monsters is my favorite DB album, but Aladdin Sane is way up there. I'm a giant Mike Garson fan, and he's all over that record.
Oddly enough, very high on my list is Pin Ups, & David didn't write any songs. It's all his versions of British Invasion tunes that he liked. Great listening, if you've never heard.
