Outside was interesting but more miss than hit - the better songs on there are really good though. (The version of I'm Deranged on the Lost Highway soundtrack might be the best Bowie track of the 1990s).

Heathen was interesting, but I consider The Next Day his true return to form. And Blackstar is really, really interesting - a bit of a puzzlebox, that one, but it's really good.

it's interesting that many people don't like "Lodger". I think it is the best album he made, even better than "Low" or "Heroes". the first track on "Lodger" is in my opinion the weakest; the rest is brilliant

The second side of Lodger is my favorite side on the "trilogy".  Breaking Glass is my favorite track from the trilogy; Heroes my favorite album, but the second side of Lodger takes the cake.  Maybe best side of music of Bowie's career. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

My favorite album is 'Scary Monsters'...I don't really have a favorite era, just favorite albums. Aside from 'SM', some of my other faves are 'Hunky Dory', 'Heroes', 'Outside' and 'Aladdin Sane'.

My favorite album is still the 1st one that I heard:  The Man Who Sold the World, when it had just come out.  I guess it could be considered part of the Ziggy period, but it always struck me as a bit of a one-off because it's SO hard rock.  So, I guess my favorite period would be Ziggy followed by Berlin.  My least favorite would be the Thin White Duke/Young Americans period, which I find unlistenable.  I like the Tin Machine albums.  Let's Dance is fun, if flawed.
