I actually liked Outside, probably his proggiest effort ever, a sweeping concept-like disc with some shimmering moments.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD  ...I grew up with this one during the 70s...too many good times to remember when i listen to it.
I do love the first 5 Bowie albums......left when he turned ''american'' funk/soul..you name it, not my cup of tea...i don' think his ''experiments'' with ENO were that experimental.
Actually he came back strong at the beginning of the millenium with HOURS and HEATHEN, kind of a back to the roots virage.

1 The Man Who Sold The World
2 Station To Station
3 Space Oddity
4 Low
5 Diamond Dogs
... And I'm more than happy to listen to a Bowie anthology - the Bowie at the Beeb - the BBC Sessions is a particular favourite of mine.

I love the ones not called "...hours." Or "Young Americans."
Lately, I've been digging:
1. Scary Monsters
2. Low
3. Lodger
4. Earthling (?!?!)
5. Heathen
Amazingly, I don't have any of his folky or glammy albums. Yet.

Any of those where he's working with someone on the proggier side of things. Haven't tried any of the earlier stuff (depending on how you define that).

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