Aladdin Sane. Hypocrisy is definitely wrong, on both accounts.

Aladdin Sane. Great album, but it rambles too much to beat Ziggy.

Aladdin Sane. For times like these, you gotta go with what you reach for more often. And I always go for Ziggy before Aladdin.

This one is pretty hard for me. Think I'm gonna listen to them both at least once more before I vote. Does the end of the week mean Friday or Sunday btw?

Since I'm running it now: Sunday.
(I think it was friday with Trollheart still at the helm.)

ok, thanks :)

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.

Unless a miracle happens, Aladdin Sane is out and Ziggy Stardust is this round's winner.

Since there's a chance I won't have time and/or internet next week, let's kick off the next round now.

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

Vote off one album by the end of the next week.
Yep, it's gonna be a tough one.

Every album there is very good.

Lodger will be voted out this week, it is the weakest of those. A couple of filler tracks (Move On + Red Money) but there are enough highlights (tracks 5 - 8 plus one or two more) on here for it to be at least a 7/10 for me :cool:

Station to Station is first out for me. Pretty much on par with Lodger but never really a favourite.
