I'd have to say that Scary Monsters is my overall favorite but I do have a soft spot for BTWN. I think that it's potential sonically, conceptually, etc. was not fully realized, however.

Bowie is the sexiest man alive!!!! I sound like a broken record but have been saying this for years!
God I love him, his best years however for me were his first 7 albums.

"Space Oddity" & "Diamond Dogs' - Then (His best work imo) "Low" - "Heroes" - "Lodger" & "Scary Monsters." |

For me Station To Station to Scary Monsters is someof the fienst work out there. Hunky Dory is a terric and imagiantive album, Ziggy one of the firest concept bums that features top tunes (Staran) out there. And tes, Diamond DOgs is underrtayed.
Love The New Day; Have to say it's the full version that's best. The second CD completes the album sequence that the single disc release hints at. Funny how I picked the full set up for 25% less than the single CD. 1. Outside is very interesting. The Heart's Filthy Lesson a recent classic. I like a lot of his more recent work from Black Tie / White Noise onward. New Bowie is always good and he is one of the most innovative and courageous songwriters out there. He has great bands with superb arrangements helping out. Frankly I am most amused at his whole marketing approach, Visuals sell so he did that to the pop market while supplying some of the finest and non pop oriented (and the converse) prog rock available. Try doing that without an image and you're, um, King Crimson (Red plays as I type). Who are these guys btw? Some heroes or super creeps? ;) |

to these ears, 'Berlin trilogy' is the very best of Bowie's discography. Edited by Komandant Shamal - December 16 2015 at 20:48 |

My favourite era of Bowie is from 1969 to 1974. His first 7 albums. Blackstar is weird, strangest thing ever but it's brilliant! I am very excited about this album release. :)

For the Bowie fans.....title track from his upcoming album.
It's interesting but can't say it does much for me. I also listened to 'Sue' and 'Tis a Shame She's a Whore'...which came out a while back. I thought the jazz players on 'Sue' were good but didn't really care for his vocals or lyrics that much. 'She's A Whore' was really disappointing to me......ces't la vie. |

I like the trilogy "Low", "Heroes" and "Lodger" best, especially "Lodger". I also like his Tin Machine stuff a lot

I haven't listened to all of his stuff, but my favorites are Low, Heroes, Scary Monsters, 1. Outside, and Earthling. I haven't listened to any of his stuff after Earthling yet, though it's on my "YouTube" radar.

I dont understand the way you split it up, but that is another story.
Most of my favorite albums are from 1975-1980 that is from Young A. to Monsters. Some of the early albums are great too. |

Bowie was an extremely talented hit-maker so his greatest art-pop hits are actually that best stuff of his catalogue, nevermind which phase.

That's the period I like best too, and I'm really looking forward to the new album, it's something completely different, judging by the first single.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Everything from Space Oddity to Scary Monsters.....basically the whole of the 70s. Can't get into the new Bowie stuff....he tries to hard to either shake off his past or dive head first into it.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
