About time too.

you left out "heroes" and low

I'll vote when you've added "Diamond Dogs"

I voted for Space Oddity as it is the only record I know/own

Whaaaat? You omitted "Heroes" and "Lodger". For shame. One of them would be my favourite.

I think "Low" is insanely overrated, and "Tonight" ain't as bad as people make out.

It's Ziggy for me

There's a limited number of options on a poll, so I left out the ones I don't rate myself. Diamond Dogs should've been left in - I must have been tired.

Heros, is bowies best album..

The only album i've heard was

Or just Aladdin Sane if you're on a tight budget.

No, it's pretty neat.

But then I love "This Is Not America" so WTF do I know?

aye - Outside was damn good compared to his previous offerings

Bowie's quite a "singles" man for me to be honest. I mean, I chose "Heroes" earlier on, but when I think about it, I was voting mainly for the title track and Beauty and the Beast. I always skip the instrumentals (which, for those who don't own it, comprise a fair slice of the album. Bloody Brian Eno. )
Maybe that says more about my attention span than anything... but I think if you're new to Bowie (what have you been doing!), one of the compilations is yer best bet.

BTW, is Tin Machine really as s**t as everyone says it is?

YES

For some reason the best 4 albums Bowie ever did didn't actually feature him singing (much):
Lou Reed - Transformer
Stoogies - Raw Power
Iggy - Idiot/Lust for Life

However, is these are not suitable and you force me into a corner then I guess I would have to go for "The Best of David Bowie"...

Funny - I just wanted to say the same

Heh heh...

I see.

What form does the s**t take precisely?

hunky dory

for the number of class tracks on it. and for changes. and queen bitch. and life on mars. and oh you pretty things, and bewley brothers, and yadda yadda yadda.... i could go on

It's too hard to choose. I even liked Earthling.
