Heathen wasn't out yet in March when the thread was created. That's all.

I wanted to change the world; now, I can't be bothered to change my socks.

I've been listening to Bowie a lot over the past few days and rethinking my earlier placings. So here's a new list...

1. Outside
2. Station To Station
3. Aladdin Sane
4. Ziggy Stardust
5. Diamond Dogs
6. Hunky Dory
7. Low
8. Lodger
9. The Buddha of Suburbia
10. Earthling
11. "Heroes"
12.The Man Who Sold The World
13. Scary Monsters
14. "...hours"
15. Heathen
16. Black Tie White Noise
17. Space Oddity
18. Pin Ups
19. Never Let Me Down
20. Let's Dance
21. Young Americans
22. Tin Machine
23. Tin Machine 2
24. Tonight
25. David Bowie (1966)

You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould

Hunky Dory
Station To Station
Diamond Dogs
Scary Monsters
Low
Ziggy Stardust
Man Who Sold The World
Lodger
Aladdin Sane
Heroes
Space Oddity
Young Americans
David Bowie
Heathen
Tin Machine I
Let's Dance
Hours
Tin Machine II
Black Tie, White Noise
Buddha Of Suburbia
Outside
Earthling
Never Let Me Down
Tonight
Pin Ups


That was jolly difficult!

I've had yet another go at this since I quickly changed my mind. I realised that Tin Machine is worse than Tin Machine 2 and that I've bizarrely placed Never Let Me Down too high recently. I'm quite solid with my top three and bottom three now, though.

1. Outside
2. Station To Station
3. Diamond Dogs
4. Aladdin Sane
5. Ziggy Stardust
6. Low
7. Hunky Dory
8. Lodger
9. The Buddha of Suburbia
10. Earthling
11. "Heroes"
12. Scary Monsters
13. The Man Who Sold The World
14. "...hours"
15. Heathen
16. Black Tie White Noise
17. Space Oddity
18. Let's Dance
19. Pin Ups
20. Young Americans
21. Never Let Me Down
22. Tin Machine 2
23. Tin Machine
24. Tonight
25. David Bowie (1966)

Shut up! It's Daddy, you shithead! Where's my bourbon?

1. Diamond Dogs
2. Aladdin Sane
3. Scary Monsters
4. The Man Who Sold The World
5. Young Americans (I was equally surprised)
6. Heroes
7. Low
8. Ziggy
9. Lodger
10. Tin Machine
11. Space Oddity
12. Station to Station
13. Earthling
14. Heathen
15. David Bowie
16. Hours
17. Outside (too long)
18. Hunky Dory
19. Pin Ups (the only Bowie album that makes me angry)
20. Black Tie, White Noise

Now wait five minutes and watch the ratings change again. It's fun.

Oh, that crazy young me of 4 and a bit months ago... I was such a crazy kid...

1.) Station to Station
2.) Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
3.) Diamond Dogs
4.) The Man Who Sold the World
5.) Young Americans
6.) Aladdin Sane
7.) "Heroes"
8.) Low
9.) 1. Outside
10.) Lodger
11.) Let's Dance
12.) Space Oddity
13.) Hunky Dory
14.) David Bowie
15.) Ziggy Stardust
16.) Heathen
17.) BTWN
18.) 'Hours...'
19.) Tin Machine
20.) Earthling
21.) Tonight
22.) NLMD
23.) Pin Ups


Yeah, big changes... I had hoped Ziggy'd place lower but, dammit, for whatever its lacking (which is an awful lot) it still does have the 5 Years factor.


Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war

The top 6 albums are all so great that there is not much between them.

1. Scary monsters
2. station to station
3. outside
4. Low
5. Diamond dogs
6. Hunky Dory
7. Alladin Sane
8. Earthling
9. Young Americans
10. Lodger
11. Heroes
12. Black Tie White Noise
13. Heathen
14. Hours
15. The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from mars
16. The man who sold the world
17. Buddha Of Suburbia
18. Lets dance

I've just got to do this again:

1. Outside
2. "Heroes"
3. Station To Station
4. Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)
5. Aladdin Sane
6. Stage
7. Lodger
8. Diamond Dogs
9. Young Americans
10. The Buddha Of Suburbia
11. David Live
12. Heathen
13. Earthling
14. The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust etc.
15. Never Let Me Down
16. Black Tie White Noise
17. Space Oddity
18. Tonight
19. Let's Dance
20. Tin Machine
21. 'hours...'
22. David Bowie
23. Hunky Dory
24. The Man Who Sold The World
25. PinUps

I just can't rank all of them but I have decided that

"Heroes" is my favourite, followed by

Ziggy Stardust and

Station To Station

It's too difficult with all the others but I would put Tonight at the very end. It's terrible!

I think mine needs to seriously be reworked, for once again, as things always do in my world, the order has changed a decent amount.

My new order:

1. 1.Outside
2. Low
3. Scary Monsters
4. Space Oddity
5. Heathen (I'll stand by this too)
6. 'Heroes'
7. Diamond Dogs
8. Buddha Of Suburbia
9. The Man Who Sold the World
10. Aladdin Sane
11. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
12. Station to Station
13. Hunky Dory
14. Earthling
15. Black Tie White Noise
16. ...Hours
17. Let's Dance
18. Lodger
19. Tonight
20. Tin Machine II
21. Never Let Me Down
22. Pinups
23. David Bowie
24. Tin Machine
25. Young Americans


I'll stand by that one for another few weeks, I'm sure...

"How can I implore? For this is sex without touching..."

peace light and love
