Once you get into his more accessible material, make sure you get Low.
Classic album right there.
One of my favorite Bowie albums! He was a genius and a great human being. He will be missed! One of the best catalogs of music in history. The Thin White Duke!

Spinning these on a snowy day here in Michigan - R.I.P David.
I grew up listening to David Bowie in the 1970's and still love his music.
I don't think he put a step wrong in the 70's (apart from Pin Ups). I'd say 'Hunky Dory' and 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" are probably my favourites - both have great songs and are a good place to start. 'The Man Who Sold the World' is a heavy rock album - another of my favourites, along with the Berlin trilogy (Low, "Heroes" and 'Lodger') which are more experimental.
I've ordered a load of his later stuff today. I already have 'Scary Monsters and Super Creeps' and ' The Next Day' which I also rate highly.
So sad that he's passed away, but his music and influence will live on for sure.
i was hopeful to see him one more time...first saw him on the serious moonlight tour in detroit...last time was the reality tour. he is a legend with a huge catalog. we are all blessed to have had him around this long. this getting old thing sucks
I LOVE WHAT JEFF A WROTE "David Bowie channeled everything to everyone, a beacon of light to the freaks and the outcasts and great pop/funk/rock/glam/tech songs for the masses. The most oblique of strategies. The truest of original song makers. He will be greatly missed" -Jeff Ament

i totally remember before i knew bowie's music thinking...wow what a weird man and how can THAT music be any good(i was a who/stones/beatles fan initially) then i listened to the ziggy album and the rest was history. i got obsessed with all the characters and then came the serious moonlight tour....what a wonderful ride it's been being a bowie fan!

one old bootleg that i just remembered i have...got look for it tonight the last show that ziggy ever did live bowie goes on to announce at the show "not only is it the last show of the tour but it's that last show we'll ever do" i just got goosebumps typing that cause i remember the roar of the crowd.... that was certainly a magical time. this clip came from the dvd of the serious moonlight tour(love that dvd) and i'm not done yet
after my first few bowie shows i realized that it was just a concert that he put on, it was a SHOW David Bowie- Andy Warhol (Live at Lorelei 6-22-96) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hSVpFQDaOI
