Cmoon, dude.

I've never actually listened to Black Tie White Noise. I've heard Jump They Say, so I guess that covers that.

Actually, can we include The Gouster on lists now?

This is the best I can do. I ain't 21 yet.

You're skipping a lot of stuff. I don't like it.

Well half of it is just a repeat of Young Americans

And if you have the deluxe of Y.A. there's no point in including the gouster.

But you can if you want.

Cheers m8.

I love Earthling, couldn't get into Outside, haven't heard the others though (that includes other 80s and 00s stuff)

Tonight. Black Tie. Heathen.
I highly rec. you listen to those albums.

Yeah, Black Tie is good and Heathen is absolutely essential. Honestly I would put Reality in there as necessary as well not to mention his last two albums.

i have never heard bowie outside of white wedding. which album do i start with?

Name your favorite genre and I'll give you an album recommendation based on that.

Start with a compilation. Probably Nothing Has Changed since it's the most complete.

Where Are We Now?
Blackstar

Queen Bitch was made with Lou Reed in mind, I'm not a fan of his voice at all and Bowie tried imitating it pretty hard on that. Space Oddity's just got that 60's stereo mixing problem, lots of hard panning. It aggravates me and ruins songs for me. It did it for that song, which I'd otherwise enjoy.

Rebel Rebel's alright though. Diamond Dogs didn't wow me too hard, that's just my least favourite of the album.

>This list
With minor deviation, goddamn we'd be friends. Almost identical to what mine would be.

>Fascination
Only other time I've heard a good word for it, and it's honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. Great taste m8, r8 8/8.

...

Awww, thank you, man. What's your list? I'd love to see it.

I wanna see that minor variation gosh dangit don't leave me hanging.

I need to listen to more Bowie

Have you got any Bowie recommendations?

Everything

But Hunky Dory isn't good

Great picks senpai

Opinion is objectively wrong

Whew, not a single mention of Letter to Hermione? One of his most underrated tracks.

Lets see your top list, friend.

I didn't realize it was a "pick one song from each album" thing. While I consider myself a Bowie fan, I haven't actually heard all of his albums. Whenever I listen to him, I usually end up going back to my favorite albums. It's not that surprising then, but I still think it's a very underrated track.

That's cool. Which albums of his have you listened to?

There are some albums I've heard once or twice, but these are the ones I'm most familiar with/keep going back to:
Space Oddity
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Diamond Dogs
Low
The Next Day

I'm also familiar with most of the hit singles, but I keep going back to these albums. Blackstar didn't really grab me when I first listened to it, but I heard it before his death. So if you have any recommendations for similar stuff, please let me know. I haven't heard much of his stuff released between 79-03.

Well if you're interested in recs here are a select few of my favorites:
Aladdin Sane
Lodger
Tonight
Black Tie White Noise
Earthling

Thanks, I'll put them next on the list. I've definitely heard Aladdin Sane before, but I'm not so sure about the others.

Well those are just some personal favorites. If you want some stuff other Bowie fans would call the best, go with Hunky Dory and Station to Station. Those are considered the more "high quality" ones.

>Space Oddity
>Sweet Thing/Candidate
>Heroes
>Win
>Stay
Definitely, absolutely correct in my eyes. Haven't listened to enough his other albums to judge. Would swap Sound and Vision with Subterraneans though.

Making such a list is much harder with VU.

Oops, referring to

You really need to get on Scary Monsters. Its Bowies best album in my opinion

From what I've listened too:
Memory of a Free Festival
All The Mad Men
Quicksand
Moonage Daydream
Time
Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing
Can You Hear Me
Stay, but STS is GOAT
Breaking Glass
''Heroes''/Moss Garden
DJ
Teenage Wildlife
Modern Love
Blue Jean
Magic Dance
Strangers When We Meet
I'm Afraid Of Americans
Something In The Air (American Psycho mix)
Sunday
Bring Me The Disco King
Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Rich mix)
I Can't Give Everything Away

David Bowie 67 - Love you till tuesday
The Man Who Sold The World - Saviour Machine
Space Oddity - Occasional dream
Hunky Dory - Life on Mars?
Ziggy - Lady Stardust
Aladdin Sane - Panic in Detroit
Diamond Dogs - Rebel Rebel
Young Americans - Tie between title track and Fame
Station to Station - Tie between STS and Stay
Low - Breaking Glass
"Heroes" - Tie between Black Out and The Secret Life of Arabia
Lodger - Yassassin
Scary Monsters - Tie between Fashion and Ashes to Ashes.
Let's Dance - Modern Love
Black tie white noise - Black tie white noise
The Next Day - The Stars (are out tonight)

Second side of low and Heroes should be pretty gud. Also try "All Saints" which is a compilation album of all of Bowies ambient/instrumental tracks.
