Advantages: Solid debut album

Disadvantages: Slightly different style to Ziggy etc

Bowie's first recognised foray into the world of music came with Space Oddity; an album which is more of a traditional singer/songwriter record than a glam rock goliath; however it remains a classic album with enough style and swagger to still satisfy today's audience.

Aside from Space Oddity which remains a timeless Bowie classic, Cygnet Committee has always been a personal favourite of mine because of its energy and the closing Memory of a Free Festival is another special track which has a real 60's feel to it. The album shows a real maturity from Bowie who would go onto become a huge global success in the 80's. Those who aren't fans of the Glam rock scene could do much worse than to check this one out - it more than stands the test of time.

While it's still available, the 40th Anniversary 2CD upgrade of Space Oddity is well worth the money.

Summary: Claasic album which stands the test of time
