Resonated with me on a very personal level. This album holds much meaning to me as it acted as a catalyst for my appreciation of music and David Bowie. I hold this album very close to me and is an important part of my life. [First added to this chart: 05/24/2017]

Ambitious. Creative. Atmospheric. Chaotic. Confused. Experimental. Innovative. Influential. Life changing. Pioneering. Sublime. Just to put into simple words. [First added to this chart: 05/24/2017]

A revolutionary landmark album in the music scene, and a turning point in the Beatles’ work and career. The album is full of contingency that this will reform the way an album is created, played, written, and performed. There’s a bit of everything on here, from whimsical accents to eccentricities to mundane notions written into songs. [First added to this chart: 07/27/2017]

Poetry in motion. A cathartic masterpiece for both Bowie and I. Took me a couple of listens to fully appreciate Bowie's conviction and consciousness, but with time every song unraveled to show the covert genius that Bowie truly is. [First added to this chart: 05/24/2017]

This album will lure you into its own fabricated world and will not let you go. One of the only few albums that is rewarding the first time you listen to it, beginning to end. The surreal sound and lyrics transcends you into “The Ninth Wave” and puts you into a trance as you flow along with Kate’s undaunted voice wrapping around the album. Kate’s auerate song writing and the bewitching sound create a divine work of art. [First added to this chart: 07/27/2017]

A lot of nice choices in this chart. Big Star is always so underrated. I'd like to see you get up to a Top 40 :)

For a chart with only 13 albums, i have 3 in common with you. Thats a lot for only 13 albums. And I'm glad u got Diamond Dogs. For some reason its not one of the top Bowie albums on this site. Not sure why. Its one of mine tho.
