I like the guitar work on this. My Sister's favorite, but I just don't connect with Bowie.

Overlooked, if that's possible with Bowie. Great rocker Jean Genie

Some greatness here, but some duds as well. Inconsistency seems to be the hallmark of Bowie.

Not his best, but most musicians would kill to put out one record this good.

This album gets overlooked by a lot of folks but I think it's nearly as good as Ziggy Stardust. Same basic idea, same stock of great songs.

My favorite bowie album due its smooth-yet-strange perfection of bowie's sound post-ziggy.
