Episode 52: 'Aladdin Sane' with Phil Collen

The legendary David Bowie finally makes his 'My Classic Album'
debut courtesy of Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. Phil joins
Mike on this episode to discuss Bowie's celebrated album 'Aladdin
Sane'.


With a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame career of his own, Phil
reveals the impact David Bowie had on him in his formative years
and how this album set him on his own musical journey... and of
course with Mike being such a huge Def Leppard fan he couldn't
resist some chat about 'Hysteria' and beyond!



In Phil's opinion, how does 'Aladdin Sane' improve on Bowie's
breakthrough 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders
From Mars'? 


Why did Def Leppard choose to cover 'Drive In Saturday' for their
2006 covers album 'Yeah!'?


What unique Bowie recording was Phil's band mate Joe Elliott able
to give to the man himself?

'My Classic Album' including conversations with Ron 'Bumblefoot'
Thal and Riva Taylor!
