1. Easy ....
Ziggy on the first poll ...

Scary Monsters on this one ....

Fripp is an amazing guitarist, and certainly shines when playing with Bowie .... The guitar work in "It's No Game" is nothing short of brilliant virtuosity ...

4. Low's haunting short song "Breaking Glass"

Breaking Glass Lyrics
by David Bowie

Baby, I've been
breaking glass
In your room again
Listen

Don't look at the carpet,
I drew something awful on it

See

You're such a wonderful person
But you got problems oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll never touch you

11. The 'Stage' version is awesome
I voted for Scary Monsters. Up the Hill Backwards, Ashes to Ashes... it's a great album from a period when Bowie was beginning to be be counted out.

6. Scary Monsters
Not a huge Fripp fan (yeah, flame away, ho hum), but he does his best work on that record, IMO.

8. Fripp always does his best work when he's working for someone else...
be it Bowie, Eno, Roches, Blondie...

7. Outside is the greatest album of the decade!
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 06:31 PM by Ramsey
I will unabashedly make the proclamation that rock music historians will be proclaiming 1. Outside one of the greatest albums of its decade. It is truly brilliant. As a concept album, as artwork, as a philosophical work, as an intellectual exercise and as pure unadulterated rock music. Outside has a few of Bowie's very best songs: Hallo Spaceboy, Voyeur of Utter Destruction, Heart's Filthy Lesson, Outside, The Motel, (Eidt: Forgot:) I'm Deranged, Through These Architect's Eyes

Of course, it was too esoteric for the general population and nobody ever played it on the radio, but it may be the most underrated album of all time!

I am a fanatical enough Bowie fan for you?? :evilgrin:

10. Heroes. A much overlooked meisterwerk.
And yes, I am pretentious.
