Trying to decide which albums are the best of his.

I've long thought and still think that 'Hunky Dory' is my favourite. It's full of Andy Warhol-inspired ditsy little songs of catchiness, happiness and quirkiness. Plus there's Changes, and my favourite song of all of his...Life On Mars.

Then of course Ziggy Stardust is a classic. I think it'd have to be second purely for Starman.

Then...this is where it gets tricky. Diamond Dogs has Rock N' Roll With Me and Rebel Rebel...Low has Sound and Vision and Be My Wife...Scary Monsters has Cat People and Ashes to Ashes...

but I think Space Oddity would have to be third. Janine and Letter to Hermione are brilliant songs (the latter is Ricky Gervais' favourite song of all time. the more you know.) And of course the title track.

Fourth I think will be Diamond Dogs. I continually forget how great it was...Dodo, Big Brother and Candidate all being great tracks.

Fifth...Scary Monsters. Fashion, Ashes and Kingdom Come <3. Which means I'd give Low 6th.

OH JESUS I FORGOT ALADDIN SANE. Shove that in at 3rd and move every other down one.

This is difficult. I just remembered Heroes. And Let's Dance. You consider them as singles really, rather than albums. but they gave us Modern Love, China Girl and Neukoln.

I'll try and rank them.

1) Hunky Dory
2) The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
3) Aladdin Sane
4) Space Oddity
5) Diamond Dogs
6) Scary Monsters
7) Let's Dance
8) Low
9) Heroes
10) Heathen
11) The Man Who Sold The World
12) Station to Station
13) Young Americans
14) David Bowie
15) Reality
16) Lodger
17) Black Tie White Noise
18) Outside
19) Pin Ups
20) Tonight
21) Earthling

These are just the ones I remember...I'm sure I've forgotten some.

I do like the top 19 of those...but I genuinely loathe Earthling. Totally wrong career move for him. And Tonight...well that God Only Knows cover was just shocking.

But hey. 19 decent-to-outstanding albums make up for those little blunders.

I was really quite pleasantly surprised with his two 'noughties' albums, Heathen and Reality. There were no anthemic tracks that you'd see on the majority of his work, but they were contemporary, interesting and of a consistently good standard.

I'm not sure if I'd want him to do any more material. You see the Stones still going on and they've kinda lost their magic...I don't want to see him do that.

That said, if he tours again I will KILL for a fucking David Bowie ticket. I've only been to one concert in my life [the Scissor Sisters, if you're interested. and NO, i do love them.] But yeah...the idea of screaming along to "Heroes" or Starman is pretty much the perfect experience I could have, really.

Thank you for reading. If you did. D=

Happy song: Hmm... not sure if they do happy. [track artist=Placebo]Infra-Red[/track] makes me happy though.
Sad song: [track artist=Placebo]Sleeping With Ghosts[/track] comes to mind.
First song you heard: Nancy Boy
Last song you listened to: [track artist=Placebo]Battle For The Sun[/track]
Best album: Definitely Sleeping With Ghosts, for me. Also a big fan of Meds.
Worst album: Hmm...I like Black Market Music, so I guess it'd have to be their self-titled album.
Best live song: Haven't seen them live.
Song that describes you: [track artist=Placebo]Protect Me From What I Want[/track] is fairly accurate.
Song for your funeral: [track artist=Placebo]Song To Say Goodbye[/track] is the obvious choice, I guess.

Last song you listened to: [track artist=The Killers]Joy Ride[/track]
Best album: Definitely Sam's Town.
Worst album: I guess it'd have to be Sawdust, the only original song [Tranquilize] was good though.
Best live song: Never seen.
Song that describes you: [track artist=The Killers]Mr. Brightside[/track] applies to me, since I'm quite the jealous type. Only my envy's directed to a male :P

Most overrated song: Possibly... [track artist=The Killers]Smile Like You Mean It[/track]. Still like it, though.

Sad song: Err... I guess [track artist=David Bowie]Space Oddity[/track]
First song you heard: [track artist=David Bowie]Let's Dance[/track]
Last song you listened to: Currently listening to [track artist=David Bowie]Ziggy Stardust[/track]

Best live song: Wouldn't know.
Song that describes you: Hmm... I've found myself finding solace in the lyrics to [track artist=David Bowie]Nature Boy[/track] lately.
Song for your funeral: Oooh...I wouldn't want to sour any Bowie for anyone.
Most overrated song: Probably [track artist=David Bowie]Ziggy Stardust[/track]
Most underrated song: [track artist=David Bowie]Rebel Rebel[/track], but that's still pretty acclaimed. I don't know.

Total = 2,877,795

Divide by 20.

Average: 143,890

Divide by the number of Radiohead listeners...

Radiohead – 551,766 Total Listeners

143,890 / 551,766 = 0.2607...

Multiply by 100 and round, if neccessary.
About 26% mainstream.

I was worried it would be higher.
