>Candidate (Or the whole 3-song suite)
>Diamond Dogs

I know it isn't his best, but it made me fall in love with him and it still probably covers my favorite styles and themes. Station to Station a close second. Also has God-tier cut songs, could have easily been one of his best albums without contest. Alternative Candidate is one of my favorite songs ever and one of the most directly personal songs he ever wrote.

All said, the album I listen to most these days is the live recording from the Station to Station tour at Nassau. Absolute top of his live performance.

what's wrong with hang on to yourself

it's a bit of a throwaway, simplistic track.. gets old very quickly

wouldn't even be in my top five t b h familia

>>60518358
nothing wrong with it.

I just think it isn't the best the album has to offer
>>
>>60518421
well, it is not the best, and to agree with (>>60518412), it is a pretty simple track compared to the rest.
but it is still my favorite.
>>
>>60518458
fair enough

i think 'star' is a filler track
yet i love it

>>60518468
Star totally is. It's literally the only Bowie song I skip, from that era alone. Something about the kind of echoed piano and lack of substance really grinds on me, especially with how perfect the rest of the album is. I don't think it's bad, but it's definitely not up on top.

Should have just been John, I'm Only Dancing.
>>
>It Ain't Easy
>Star
>Hang On To Yourself
All skipworthy tracks

Rock n Roll Suicide is overrated as fuck too just because it's the last track
>>
>>60518534
really?
i love the opening lyrics

and it progressively gets more depressing as the song goes on
it feels like 5 years at the end
>>
>>60518556
>Rock n Roll Suicide is overrated as fuck too just because it's the last track

it's the best song on the album. perfect buildup to a perfect climax.
