Every David Bowie Album Ranked Worst To Best (By Guitar Power)

2. Aladdin Sane (1973)

The last studio album to feature Ronson, the opener, ‘Watch That Man’, kicks off with a Stonesy groove – at the time Bowie said he’d been listening to the Stones a lot and it shows.

The album spawned a couple of classic hit singles in ‘Life On Mars’ and ‘Jean Genie’, but the real fireworks are on ‘Cracked Actor’ with Ronson’s guitar on the verge of spilling into cacophony, but in the best possible way.

Another album that confirmed the notion that without Ronson, Bowie's career would have taken a very different path.
