Only my opinion though.

Separating Low and Station To Station will be extremely difficult for me though.
Don't count Heroes out just yet! I mean it probably will be but...

I put off voting for the last few ones, since it was just too hard to pick one to vote off, but for this one I'm quite sure, even though it pains me, that I want to vote off Station to Station.

Heroes. Inferior song order, out of place track, prefer the vocals on Low.

His singing is amazing.

Let's start the next one today. Gonna be pretty busy next week.

Heroes is gone. I hate you all. (Well, at least those who voted it off. You suck.)

Station to Station (1976)
Low (1977)

Vote one off by the end of next week.
Once again I go with Low. Will the third time be the charm?

Voting off Station to Station. I've actually changed my opinion here, I think Low probably deserves to win this overall.

Station to Station

*cries*

Low's B-side pushes it over the top. But "Word on a Wing" might be my favourite Bowie song.

I meant the tracks themselves, the first half.

This one is tough but I'm voting off Station to Station. Would probably take the title track over any one song on Low, but other than that Low is better. According to my iTunes I've listened to it far more as well. The 2nd half piqued my interest in that sort of music and got me into Brian Eno
