Ziggy Stardust is my favorite Bowie album period, probably Low after that, then Aladdin Sane and then Hunky Dory.
I like the music hall style of Hunky, I know that a lot of people hate it when rock musicians play around with that style of music (like say, Paul McCartney) but I think it's great, Bowie has always been kinda vaudville anyway and to me it's one of his defining albums, I disagree with it being all filler, I think most of the tracks are great.
I strongly disagree that Bowie is weak as an album artist, but he does know how to pick his singles, in fact he has one of the best run of singles of any artist.
