    Curious to know who here has a good appreciation for one of the true goats.

    If I had to say my top 3 its probably

    1. Low
    2. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
    3. Space Oddity

    with Heroes being a close 4th.

    never too late to change that! i realize he ain't for everybody but i think his music has a really lasting quality to it.
    He has a variety of sounds but honestly i'd give him a try. those 3 i named would probably be what i recommend someone to listen to

    I suppose I'd call it Rock but its got elements of many genres in it and doesn't always adhere to a title.

    Blackstar was really terrific! It'll probably move up my list as I form more of an attachment to it

    My man! I'm gonna make a reply to this but I gotta think it out. I don't take anything Bowie lightly.

    1. Station to Station
    2. Heroes
    3. Low/Blackstar

    Station to Station at 1 because every song on there is a hit and it's truly a unique time in his life. The title track being a classic & maybe his best song of all time. Heroes at 2 because it's an iconic/experimental album that had some really different and great songs, along with amazing ambient style music. & I couldn't have only 3 so I put Low & Blackstar together because they are both experimental as well and the average Bowie fan wouldn't like them. But the music on each is outta this world, just fabulous. I probably could have detailed this better but I'm kinda drunk. @Big Dangerous & @COLLEGROVE listen to anything from Bowie, you'll be glad you did.

    I'm surprised Station to Station hasn't gotten much love in this thread.
