Hmm, I more than half expected going into these final re-listens that I'd be voting off Ziggy, but I've come to realise that it's after all a more consistent album overall. And the fact that the album has "Starman", "Ziggy Stardust" and "Suffragette City" on it mustn't be under-emphasized either.
With that said, I think the diversity of influences on Aladdin Sane provided a nice change of pace for Bowie, especially the jazzy stuff. That Mike Garson solo on the title track is great stuff.
But yeah, the one I'm voting off is Aladdin Sane.
