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.

Diamond Dogs

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.

Ok , thanks, I'll check it out.

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:

MB's resident Bowie nerd checking in…

Heathen and The Next Day.

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.

Gotta say I am really enjoying Blackstar right now but I think I will give Aladdin Sane some love by saying its easily top five in his discography for me.

Top 5 (no order): Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Station to Station, Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold the World.

Before I put Blackstar anywhere near this list I'll need one more listen.

Anybody read my Blackstar review?

I did. Good one.:thumb:
Didn't necessary agree with everything, but could always see where you were coming from.

Thanks!

As far as the Berlin trilogy goes, I've only heard the first two. I'm just starting to get into experimental music. I've heard a lot of experimental albums, but I never could get into them.

This changes a lot, but Station to Station I think. Pin Ups aside, Hunky Dory to Let's Dance is a great run of albums and I pretty much love them all.

Station to Station, Aladdin Sane, Low & Heroes, I think.

Lodger doesn't have the ambient bits on the second half of the album so it's probably easier to get into.

Also have you heard Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot'? That might be a good introduction into the first two, maybe you will like them more once you've heard the Iggy Pop album.

Yes, hammered that for about a month when I first heard it. Opening track as pointed out is a belter, title track is obviously great as well.

I've had him on my todo list for a long time. I have a lot on my todo list, and Iggy Pop isn't very high up.

It doesn't sound like Iggy Pop though.

Knowing Stooges, I doubt Iggy Pop sounds a thing like Bowie.

OK, hot diggety damn Aladdin Sane is a great album 3rd best he has. No, I'm not drunk. I wanted it to look like that.

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, the ONLY album by him that I ever liked.

And the best album title ever.

David Live.
