One of the best albums from one of the greatest artists of all time, if the middle half stayed a bit more consistent, it might be my favorite of his. Changes, Life On Mars, Oh! You Pretty Things and Queen Bitch are some of my favorites of his, Bowie is truly a force to be reckoned with.

This. Also, Oh! You Pretty Things' chorus is one of the best of all time, in any genre.

This is damn good. Though I'm slightly on and off with how I like it. I don't think I quite understand it yet. Probably due for a relisten or sth.
EDIT: It's now great in my eyes.

Outside of Low and (possibly) Station To Station, this is my favourite Bowie record. I fux with 'Kooks'.

A mature Bowie's songwriting on display, raw and unadorned, before he dove headfirst into play-acting and experimentation. In a sense, he was still going along with a fad, since there was a brief obsession with singer-songwriters in the early '70s. Even so, I don't think there's anything artificial here.
I had a brief obsession with "Oh! You Pretty Things," while "Changes" has always been a favorite. Pretty strong throughout, though.

Are you saying David was a fad?

He is capable of creating great records that are easy to get into and don't fade away with time... Fill Your Heart, Bewlay Brothers, Changes, Quicksand, Kooks, all of those tracks and not one is short of greatness.
I also love Low, Ziggy, Station. I'm getting to the rest of his albums, Bowie is really worth listening.
