Favourite Bowie album

radarmaker · 07.10.2008, 02:56 PM

OK, the Aladdin Sane thread & the new release of the '72 Santa Monica Ziggy gig prompted me to create my first poll - surprised it hasn't been done before!

Not enough available options to do it properly I'm afraid - if possible I'd add at least the self-titled one reissued as Space Oddity, Lodger, Pin-Ups & Lets Dance to the list, but what can ya do...

I'm torn between MWSTW, Hunky Dory & Station to Station, but went with the former just cos.

radarmaker · 07.10.2008, 03:09 PM

Ah, shit I somehow missed off Aladdin Sane. Whoops.

noisereductions · 07.10.2008, 03:13 PM

Hate to be so obvious, but ZIGGY is really the record that clued me in on how amazing Bowie could be. As a child I only knew him from the LABYRINTH soundtrack.

noisereductions · 07.10.2008, 03:14 PM

haha I didnt even notice "one of the shit ones" being a choice. Nice.

acousticrock87 · 07.10.2008, 03:19 PM

Besides Aladdin Sane, I have to go with Diamond Dogs. Low is a very close second (third?).

dionysusundone · 07.10.2008, 03:41 PM

Diamond Dogs, for sure.

I also want to add that I think Station to Station and Hunky Dory are terrible. All of the other ones listed I like a lot, but I can't stand those two.

gualbert · 07.10.2008, 04:01 PM

What is remarkable about him? ( apart from the way he dressed )

Crumb's Crunchy Delights · 07.10.2008, 04:24 PM

rumor has it he liked kissing boys but he married a girl. weirdo

viewtiful_alan · 07.10.2008, 04:34 PM

I love Ziggy.
But I remember being fond of Outside:

Haven't pulled my copy out in a while though.

I only have man who sold the world, ziggy, and Outside.

Cantankerous · 07.10.2008, 05:05 PM

on this list.

aladdin sane is my real favourite bowie album.

greedrex · 07.10.2008, 06:10 PM

david bowie is as shitty as the Rolling Stones and Beck COMBINED.

neg rep is overrated

MellySingsDoom · 07.10.2008, 06:19 PM

"Hunky Dory" - for a) Bowie wearing a dress on the cover, b) "Life On Mars", c) "Queen Bitch", d) pretty much all of the other tunes, and e) Mick Ronson serving up plenty of tasty guitar moves.

low by a looooooooong shot. dont dig much bowie.

acousticrock87 · 07.10.2008, 09:50 PM

I'm glad to see Low winning, even though I didn't vote for it. I think it's most deserving.

uhler · 07.10.2008, 11:13 PM

ziggy stardust, low and hunky dory are all really good. don't care much for the rest. well aside from the video of dancing in the street or whatever the song is called.

Low, but Space Oddity, which you left off the list is close for me.
