{     12 Manditory David Bowie Albums     }    

01. Hunky Dory (no glam rock here, just piano ballads and such)
02. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (a major departure from Hunky Dory)
03. Aladdin Sane (even more glam than 'Ziggy')
04. Diamond Dogs (this is my favorite "glam" album he did)
05. Station To Station (I read Bowie was too coked out to remember recording this gem. Genius goes a long way, I suppose)
06. Low (Bowie meets Brian Eno, round one. Side one, songs....Side two, instrumentals)
07. "Heroes" (Same format as "Low" but this time he scores a hit single with "Heroes")
08. Lodger (This is some seriously wierd/genius Bowie/Eno business)
09. Scary Monsters...And Super Creeps (This one is damn genius like genius isn't even entirely genius)
10. 1. Outside (back with Eno and on a concept album, no doubt. Reznor was in the band on the tour for this one)
11. Earthling ("Little Wonder" rips my head off everytime I hear it)
12. Reality (the new album shows that Bowie is back to playing guitar and enjoying it)
