    No brainer for me
    Hunky Dory takes second.

    Heroes
    I went with Heroes because "Beauty and the Beast" is my favorite Bowie song.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
    I almost picked Scary Monsters because Ashes to Ashes is on it, and that is my favorite Bowie song. But The Rise and Fall is a better album overall by far.

    I went with Hunky Dory (Quicksand, Queen Bitch, Life on Mars, Changes). But wouldn't argue with Aladdin Sane, Heroes, Low

    Three way tie between "Lodger" (surprised not to see this listed), "Scary Monsters" and "Low".

    It is underrated. I find Hours to be his most underrated, though.

    I didn't think it's a good album so I left it off. Not as good as the other Berlin albums imo.
    Who knows it might grow on me like Station to Station has done after a number of listens.

    Cool that Chris Haskett (Rollins Band) played on that one.

    Maybe start off with a few of the more accessible rockers like "Red Sails" (Adrian Belew shines on that one) and "Look Back in Anger". And "Fantastic Voyage" is a classic opener.

    I like the songs 'Fantastic Voyage', 'Red Sails', 'Look Back In Anger' and 'Boys Keep Swinging'.
    The other songs don't grab me.

    Pick up the live at Nassau Coliseum 1976 album (or get the collectors edition remaster of Station to Station, which includes the concert). The live version of Station to Station is unreal.

    Voted Hunky Dory but I'd say Low now and then Station to Station.
