  The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars is a 1972 concept album by David Bowie (see 1972 in music), praised as the definitive album of the 1970s by Melody Maker[?] magazine.
Ziggy Stardust is the definitive rock star, sexually promiscuous, wild in drug intake and with a message, ultimately, of peace and love; but he is destroyed by his own excesses of drugs and sex, and torn apart by the fans he inspired.
Ziggy Stardust was still innovative and pioneering, but was also accessible to people who couldn't hear or understand the significance of Bowie's revolutionary techniques and style.

 David Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & Spiders From Mars SACD Review
Every song on Ziggy Stardust is a classic and the sheer ingenuity and highly progressive nature of the music and arrangements lends itself perfectly to a multi-channel remix on SACD.
Ziggy Stardust concludes with the dramatic “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide.” Unlike the title track, I found the acoustic guitar to be more natural and pleasing here.
Remixing a near-perfect performance like David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust for multi-channel SACD is an extremely challenging endeavor, if for no other reason than the possibility of degrading the bond and the musical relationship that Bowie and his fans have fostered thorough Ziggy Stardust over the past 30 years.

Constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust, the story falls apart quickly, yet Bowie's fractured, paranoid lyrics are evocative of a decadent, decaying future, and the music echoes an apocalyptic, nuclear dread.
Fleshing out the off-kilter metallic mix with fatter guitars, genuine pop songs, string sections, keyboards, and a cinematic flourish, Ziggy Stardust is a glitzy array of riffs, hooks, melodrama, and style and the logical culmination of glam.
Bowie succeeds not in spite of his pretensions but because of them, and Ziggy Stardust -- familiar in structure, but alien in performance -- is the first time his vision and execution met in such a grand, sweeping fashion.

As a cultural and musical signpost, Ziggy Stardust points simultaneously backwards to early rock and roll and forward to the simpler, tougher inclinations of late-1970s punk and New Wave rock.
As an album, ZIGGY STARDUST told the story of rock through the eyes of Ziggy, an alien--with a narrative that was equally sensational and intimate.
In the end, "they had to break up the band", according to the tale told in ZIGGY STARDUST, but the inevitably tragic strains of this "Rock 'N' Roll Suicide" had left their mark on the dying planet.

 David Bowie: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars ---Ink Blot Magazine
Often heralded as David Bowie's signature album and the one that saw him crowned the king of glam rock, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is indeed an album of enormous influence and cultural significance.
A mixture of theatrical, futuristic oddities and tunes that just rock, Ziggy Stardust is a loose concept album set five years before the end of the earth.
The Ziggy persona often overshadows the music, and this album itself showcases Bowie's talent as an actor and performer more than it does his talent as a musician (Entertainment Weekly named David Bowie's creation of Ziggy Stardust the 34th greatest moment in rock history).
