It's the Berlin trilogy for me, Low, Lodger & "Heroes." It all went a bit downhill from there.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I can see 'Never Let Me Down' struggling a bit here

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I have only ever liked one or two of his songs to be honest, so I voted for " none, they are all shite"

Heathen! (not the album that really is poor.)

Aladdin sane,scary monsters and hunky dory for me.but a tough choice to nail down the top three as most of his output up to and including scary monsters is top drawer.
what about the widely panned tin machine?not strictly bowie albums but the first one is a guilty pleasure.

Side 1 of Hunky Dory for me

Gone are the days of your favourite side of an album

I thought about putting the Tin Machine albums in, but by his own admission, they are not Bowie albums. When they were relased he was admamnt that TM was not a superstar side act, but a bona fide act in its own right. That said, both albums weren't that great, the first being slightly better than the second.

Bombers is one of my all time favourite Bowie songs, wasn't on the original album, but was on the Rykodisc reissue.

Apologies to "true" Bowie fans, but I love the "David Bowie" album! Uncle Arthur, Rubber Band, There Is A Happy Land, etc - these are lovely little pieces of melodrama, bizarre in parts, moving in others, very English, real period pieces. My wife hates it.

My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long!

For me, it has to be the greatest hits. Great album.

Where is the option for "The best of David Bowie"?

OK, the Best Bowie Compilation Album

Forgot about that earlier. Fantastic album. Let's Dance, China Girl, Modern Love, come on!

Tin Machine I & II were woeful

 

[Peteinblack]

Although I think the three consecutive early 70s' albums 'Hunk Dory', 'Ziggy Stardust' and 'Aladdin Sane' are all classics (I did vote for the last of these three, but it was a close call), I actually think one of the best Bowie tracks was on the Space Oddity album - 'Cygnet Committee'; this track still leaves me stunned with awe and admiration even today - one of those songs which starts of slowly, amost folky, and just steadily builds up to an apocolyptic crescendo!
