This is tough cuz I truly love everything from 71-80 and 93-now. And my list changes. But for now, this is it:

1. Low (forever my #1)
2. Lodger
3. "Heroes"
(so I like the Berlin stuff)
4. Ziggy Stardust
5. Heathen

I so badly want to include Scary Monsters and Station To Station in there, but there's just not enough room!

I actually probably have more like 15 top 5 Bowie albums.

1. Station to Station
2. Ziggy Stardust
3. Low
4. Let's Dance
5. Scary Monsters

though I could go on and say

6. Diamond Dogs
7. Aladdin Sane
8. Young Americans
9. Heroes
10. Hunky Dory
11. The Man Who Sold the World
12. Lodger

that's all I have and I think the next ones I want are Outside and then Heathen. Is there anything else that's essential? As far as I am concerned the 12 albums I listed are the greatest 12 albums put out in succession by any artist including Prince.

That's really a tough question....

1. Station to Station
2. Low
3. Ziggy Stardust
4. Aladdin Sane
5. Heathen

I guess that's it... more or less.

At the moment it would be:

(not in order)

Hunky Dory
Young Americans
David Live
Earthling
Lodger

oh, man

1. Low
2. Diamond Dogs
3. Aladdin Sane
4. Hunky Dory
5. Outside

this list will change dramatically in five seconds

Low
Hunky Dory
Ziggy Stardust
Aladdin Sane
Station To Station

Low
Ziggy Stardust
Diamond Dogs
1. Outside
Aladdin Sane

Wow that's tough!!! I love his music so much!!!

The Man Who Sold The World

3) The Man Who Sold The World
4) Aladdin Sane
5) Station To Station

Best album...by anyone...ever.

I think my list is very similar to a few already posted, but I'll put my two cents in anyway...

1) Heroes
2) Low
3) Lodger
4) Aladdin Sane
5) Scary Monsters

nobody's mentioning 'budha of suburibia'

I've never managed to find a copy.

Well...2day it'd b like this...

'Low'
'Aladdin Sane'
'Man Who Sold The World'
'Lodger'
'Heathen'

kev1n said:

it's a damn fine album - a return to the "experimental" bowie after the drought of the '80s.

Anxiety said:

and a very cool version of 'strangers when we meet', even though i like the outside version a bit better. And the title track...awsome stuff, especially the version with lenny kravitz!

I still like Black Tie White Noise.

And Scary Monsters & Let's Dance were from the eighties. They both had their moments.

1. Scary Monsters
2. Lodger
3. Diamond Dogs
4. Low
5. Heathen (My first Bowie album!)

Scary Monsters is my all time favorite album by anyone.

Anyone other than Tony M that is.

Cloudbuster said:

oh, i like 'em too...but in my opinion, the 80s stuff doesnt' hold a candle to what came before it or what came after.

Anxiety said:

Agreed.

Anxiety said:

You lump Scary Monsters in with this category too?

I naturally always consider it in the string of 70's albums and the end of an era.

Very much like Graffiti Bridge seems like the last of his 80's albums in a way with Diamonds & Pearls the start of something new.

kev1n said:

Dead Against It into Untitled is the heart of the album for me. I love those songs!

Cloudbuster said:

No reason to hide.

It's the first album I owned by him and I still love it too. I think the problem is that it seems to long even though it isn't.

The instrumentals make the pacing a little wiggy with "Looking For Lester" between two powerhouse ballads.

If I sequenced it, I'd probably do it like this.

1. You've Been Around (eerie cool opening to the album)
2. I Feel Free
3. Black Tie, White Noise
4. Real Cool World
5. Jump They Say
6. Lucy Can't Dance
7. Nite Flights
8. Pallas Athena
9. Miracle Goodnight
10. Don't Let Me Down & Down
11. I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday
12. The Wedding Song(the appropriate last thing you should here)

Save the instrumentals for b-sides. They're great, but they really fuck things up.

mistitled edit.
