Note: Urban would be perfect for this, but then, it's far from a perfect world.
I'd be happy to, but grindy has already done an admirable job.

Round 2:
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)
Aladdin Sane (1973)
Pin Ups (1973)
Diamond Dogs (1974)
Young Americans (1975)

Round 3:
Station to Station (1976)
Low (1977)
“Heroes” (1977)
Lodger (1979)
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980)

Round 4:
Let’s Dance (1983)
Tonight (1984)
Never Let Me Down (1987)
Black Tie White Noise (1993)

Round 5:
The Buddha of Suburbia (1993)
Outside (1995)
Earthling (1997)
Hours… (1999)

Round 6:
Heathen (2002)
Reality (2003)
The Next Day (2013)
Blackstar (2016)
This is pretty solid, although I'd almost be inclined to lump Young Americans in with the Station to Station/Berlin era because of the soul influences. I'd also suggest a separate bracket for Tin Machine (I believe there are four albums).

Edit: What does everyone thinking of tossing in Labyrinth?
