Heartland

As prompted by Sabine here

Unfortunately the poll doesn't allow enough options so we'll have to keep score manually.

Your choices are:

• David Bowie (1967 debut album)
• David Bowie (aka Space Oddity)
• The Man Who Sold the World
• Hunky Dory
• The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
• Aladdin Sane
• Pin Ups
• Diamond Dogs
• Young Americans
• Station to Station
• Low
• "Heroes"
• Lodger
• Scary Monsters
• Let's Dance
• Tonight
• Never Let Me Down
• Black Tie White Noise
• Outside
• Earthling
• 'Hours...'
• Heathen
• Reality

Its actually 1. Outside

Station to Station is the winner for me.
Everything except Tonight & Never Let Me Down is always worth a listening, even the Tin Machine albums.

I desperately didn't want to choose Ziggy because, as everyone knows, it will be the popular choice.

I've got all these albums and seen Bowie many times BUT Ziggy is the one album for which I can remember every song without even trying and its got Moonage Daydream on it and Suffragette City and Lady Stardust and.....

There are many great songs spread around his albums but for true greatness from start to end its got to be Ziggy.

It may well be the best album of all time.

Not according to wiki.

Anyhoo. I think my vote might have to go for Low. (This week)

Well, in the last few weeks it's Scary Monsters, mainly because of the monsters show we had last week, where I actually sang Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
But in any other time, I'm with Mav. Ziggy is the obvious choice, but no doubt has the most gems in it

For me it has to be 'Hunky Dory', it's one of those 'album that fits a time in your life' things. Brilliant!!!!!

for me diamond dogs, an intro that broke the mold, a reprise for chrissakes, sweet thing and the title track. Then ace art work as well. I feel faint...

'The Buddha of Suburbia' is not on the list

There are so many wonderful ones and I even love the naff stuff from the mid-eighties but my choice is '1. Outside' it has such a huge variety of styles, there is so much in it I never get bored of listening to it. I play the whole thing through from beginning to end. Only the last track seems a wee bit out of kilter with the rest. I like the out-takes, the bootlegs the whole of this period - although I don't think NIN add much to the live sound

Maybe wiki took the '1.' off because the proposed sequels arent going to happen

Hunky Dory - coz it's blimmin marvelous

Chop, chop! The longer you leave it, the harder it'll get.

What she said. Genius from beginning to end.
Judging from the clue on the wall here http://vivalasisters.tumblr.com/post/29 ... itch#notes probably not the one would vote for though !

What a wonderful link ... ...

Maybe this one is slightly more Hunky Dory ... umm ... well, no.

Seeing as that Fiendy bloke is being a bit lax

Hee hee - I quite like a tally chart, any chance?

Well, as that's how I got those numbers...

Well, for me it must be Station to Station or one of the Berlin trilogy.

I pick Lodger. Just because Mark needs to make a new list now
And I always loved that album. No real singles on there, but all are good songs...

Have a gold star

Ahem. I liked the singles album. Tried to listen to a few albums but got bored quite quickly am afraid. Even with Ziggy. Grabs his coat and runs...
