The last album in my teenage top ten is "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" from 1972 by David Bowie. this is the first track.

I saw the "Bowie Is..." exhibit at the MCA here in Chicago on Friday and am still feeling a positive buzz. There are very few artists whose musical talents extend beyond a few years and/or a few recordings... David Bowie is certainly one of them. I have a half dozen Tragically Beautiful jams of his in mind, but want to start with Five Years... one of his many stand-out tracks that echo the themes of isolation and pathos.
