Jack, I would recommend Low or Station to Station as a starting point. Neither are glam rock

Yeah I agree with Low being a favourite. Also Aladdin Sane, Scary Monsters, The Man Who Sold the World, Heroes.

I'm not really a fan of glam rock, but then again I don't tend to shy away from it either. I enjoy listening to bands such as Roxy Music and Doctors of Madness. So... just pick an album you feel that's right.
1. Outside

that's experimental - it's a concept album, it still does sound a bit like NIN, though, though you may like it as it's "industrial"

Lodger's great, in my opinion. It gets nowhere near the accolades that Low and "Heroes" receive, and it's the most accessible of the Berlin Trilogy, but it's still a hugely absorbing listen. There's more of world music influence on it compared to the other two, and I think its slightly softer sound represents a perfect end to his German adventures. He clearly came out of the experience reinvigorated, and Lodger is an album brimming with contentment, despite the concept of a lonely drifter.

Lodger and Scary Monsters are, of the ones I've heard, two of my least favorite Bowie albums

The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust... is without a doubt my favourite Bowie album. Every songs gets 5* apart from maybe "It Ain't Easy", and Bowie didn't even write that one. Hunky Dory is a close second, because "Quicksand" alone is genius. Long live Mr. Bowie

Agreed, I think it's underrated slightly.

My favourite Bowie albums in order would be:

Hunky Dory
The Man Who Sold The World
Heroes
Low

^^ All of these could change around with each other depending on how I am feeling but they're all 5* to me.

Then:

TRAFOZSATSFM
Station to Station
Scary Monsters
Diamond Dogs
Aladdin Sane
Young Americans

Then:

Lodger
Space Oddity
Let's Dance

The above three I think are all very good albums. David Bowie has a lot of great albums.
