definitely. well, i really like the lyrics on low too, but... well it's kind of apples and oranges. there's so much more going on lyrically in hunky dory.

Ziggy is the better album. Not by much, but it is. I'm in the minority thinking Hunky Dory actually is more consistent with Ziggy having more fillers (It Ain't Easy, Hang on To Yourself), but the highs on Ziggy are so incredibly high I can't say it's not Bowie's best. Nearly half of the album are really really great songs which I would rate 90 or higher.

Hunky Dory is lyrically his best work, no doubt.

Hunky dory is my favourite but only by the narrowest of margins as Ziggy is excellent too.

Changes is my favorite Bowie Song, but at the same time Ziggy Stardust works better as an album

Hunky Dory, probably my second Bowie album of choice lately.

To reiterate my opinion of both "Low" & "Heroes": both 10s. And even though I feel like Ziggy Stardust will come out on top, I went with Hunky Dory. Not one weak track and excellent lyrics about time.

A bit early and simultaneously, a bit late. So Hunky Dory turned 45 last month & Ziggy Stardust follows in June. Someone I suggested this during a 40th Anniversary poll I did for Low & Heroes. So again, shall we determine the BEA's favourite?
