Of course this is subject to change, but this was done last week so it should stick for a while.

You may be Urban's long lost boyfriend. NOONE in their right mind would forego every Beatles album and put Bowie's Low up there.

But excellent, excellent list so far. You are very, very welcome to stay in this forum.

If I am, I want to find him. I like The Beatles, but unfortunately for every year I like another album more. And why not put Low up there? :(

Thank you though, here's the 80s and 90s:

You'll meet eventually. I thought your inclusion of Low was strange because (in my opinion, at least), there are four to five other Bowie albums which I consider aesthetically superior, but I didn't see them up there. In fact, the only person whom I've seen place Low in any top albums list was...Urban. But please, don't take any of this as criticism. It's a superb list.

What would you consider your favorite Bowie album?

Me? Hunky Dory, by far. That album blew me away when I first heard it, really showed me how brilliant Bowie was.

Hunky Dory is probably my second favorite Bowie album, other than perhaps Station to Station. Low didn't used to be my favorite, but it has since become probably my favorite record of all time.

You know Rick Wakemen played piano on Hunky Dory. Mmm, Life On Mars.

Life on Mars? is definitely my favorite Bowie track.

If I had an albums list, Low would be in the top 10. :D
