Best David Bowie Album, Real One.
 
OK, complications arose, and I was never told that I had to finish a poll in five minutes, so here we go. I had two other completely screwed up threads, and this is not how I wanted to start it, so please delete the other ones in favor of this.



OK, now for the point. So Blackstar is out in America (eastern time), so people may be looking at the first chance to grab the new album. After hearing that, fans will be comparing it to Bowie's past works. He's has 25 studio albums now. Wow. So, what's your favorite Bowie album? Everyone gets up to 5 votes, and please no voting for the same album twice (if that';s possible, I don't know. I'm still fairly noobish here).

Personally, mine's Ziggy, but I think I'll listen to listen to them all before voting. I'll even post a top ten.

Pretty much an impossible question. That being said, gotta go with Ziggy. Ronson at the top of his game.

That was my second choice. Have both on vinyl. He has a lot of great early stuff. I'm not as well versed on his newer material. I stopped playing much attention during the Let's Dance era.
I have heard a bit of his post 2000 era work and liked some of it ... got any post 70s rrecommenations for me , Chula ?

Not really. His appearance at Live Aid in 85 was great though.

I honestly haven't heard a lot of his discography, but I thought that The Next Day was pretty great.

I voted for Heroes, Low, Station To Station, Outside and Blackstar.
Now I remembered that I haven't listened to Low in ages and don't really remember anything from that album, just that I used to love it.

Also: Anybody else really likes "The Man Who Sold The World"? It doesn't seem to be particularly popular among fans. Sure, it's not grundbreaking and often very straighforward, but still such a fun album.

**** I only voted for one album...guess I should read more carefully.:banghead:

Love love love that album, especially "Width of a Circle."

My top five have to be Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, Young Americans, Station to Station, Low.

EDIT: But Blackstar will probably crack the top ten.
