10 Best Concept Albums

7. The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - David Bowie

ziggy stardust spiders from mars Catchy name, don't you think? The album opens with the song "Five Years" wherein the human race discovers a giant meteor will strike the Earth in five years and wipe out all life on the planet. Enter the character Ziggy Stardust, an alien who takes on the appearance of a human and becomes a rock star in order to bring mankind a message of hope. There's also stuff about more aliens called "infinites", a black hole, and of course spiders from mars. Does it actually make any sense? Who cares. Track Listing: 1. Five Years 2. Soul Love 3. Moonage Daydream 4. Starman 5. It Ain't Easy 6. Lady Stardust 7. Star 8. Hang On To Yourself 9. Ziggy Stardust 10. Suffragette City 11. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
