For probably the first time, I didn't put in the lowest score. Who voted 4?

Pleased to see Mic's review.

Looking forward to him listening to Heroes.
Maybe Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot'. That's Dave's album imo.

I've been reading up on the history of these album a bit as well, so I know Bowie had a hand in Iggy Pop's album. If Trollheart feels like it's an essential enough part of Bowie's development as an artist, then I wouldn't mind if we included that one.

I've started listening to Heroes as well. One time through so far. It will definitely get a solid score. The question is only how solid.

There is only one flaw on Heroes for me.

First time through, the only thing I thought of was how I wasn't sure I really liked "Moss Garden" that much.

No it's only albums under his name, or his project like Tin Machine. Listen to Iggy by all means but I won't be doing a thread for it here.

It's fine and it makes sense. But what about the soundtracks? Labyrinth for example? Some of those are very much grey area (they're studio recordings, of course, but some people won't think of them as "regular albums"). With an artist like Prince, his soundtracks very much qualify as real studio albums, filled with original songs, but I'm not so sure what people feel about bowie's soundtracks (he's got at least two that I'm aware of). And I guess Outside was even (in a way) a soundtrack for that weird ass PC game, Omikron (at least I remember some people saying that it was).

I think I'll go with, if it's on a discography list of his - be it Wiki, RYM, Discogs, whatever - then it gets in. If not, it doesn't. How do youse guyses feels about the lives albumses? Should I includes thems?
