Not to be confused with his second album, also self-titled but which became better known by the title of his first real hit single, "Space Oddity". As Bowie is so iconic and I can't imagine anyone rating any of his albums very low, I'm just going to use a 1-5 rating system here, where 1 is terrible and 5 is classic. Just call me lazy.
As in other "MB Classics" threads, your vote only counts if you write something, but unlike those other threads, we're not so much concerned with the status of the album here as we are about talking about it.
