I recognize it as an objectively spectacular, great album - but subjectively, there are loads of Bowie albums which speak to me way more & I'm much more prone to want to listen to.

OTM. Aladdin Sane = best glam-era Bowie for me, but Ziggy makes/made sense as the consensus classic. Would have voted "Soul Love" here...

back when it was important to define bowie as a rock musician first and foremost, it made sense that this was the consensus pick

Low, Heroes, Lodger were reissued in 1983 but were out of print iirc by the time Ziggy started appearing in Rolling Stone lists.
