What is David Bowie's best album?
>>61335736
Scary Monsters
will he be fine?
Hunky Dory
On /mu/ most people consider Low to be his best, myself included.
Other than that you'll see a mix of Ziggy, Heroes, and Hunky Dory. Maybe Aladdin Sane and Scary Monsters too.
The Idiot
>>61335736
depends...
If you want black sabbath knockoff - man who sold the world
If you want Glam knockoff - Ziggy Stardust
If you want hyper glam - Alladdin Sane
If you want da funk - Station -> Station
If you want babby's first arthouse - Berlin Bilogy (Lodger sucks)
If you want career revivalist pop - Scary Monsters

why the fuck did you type ->
was typing "to" too much work
>>61335912
Because I'm a fucking unholy tool. Why don't you get off my back before I introduce your teeth to your esophagus.

>glam knockoff
implying bowie wasn't at the forefront of the movement
>>61336029
Maybe u should consider introducing your mouth to some bleach
>>61335820
>>61336104
>implying Bowie wasn't just behind the times enough that he'd catch on when the public caught up
Come on man, quit talking shit, even Bowie admits he's a shameless chameleon.
>>61336029
you'd better step down that aggression or I'll reach through your computer screen and choke you out
>>61335820
He gets too much credit for that album
hell be fine
>>61336197
I'd like to see you fit through the peripherals on my laptop you fat fuck.
>>61336267
yeah he damn fine ooooweee
>>61336172
i'm not debating that he was a chameleon, but knockoff strikes me as doing him a disservice.
Like, Beach house is a cocteau twins knockoff.
Bowie being in the middle of a scene and pushing it towards its logical apex is a different thing.
If anything is a knockoff its the berlin trilogy, but even thta is more of a mixture or adaptation than straight appropriation. Motorik drum lines and synth effects weren't exactly new, but in the late 70s, Bowie was completely sui generis. The big albums were either by Pink floyd or in the opposite direction with punk. Bowie was kind of doing his own thing in europe.
And lodger, lodger just sounds like Bowie singing over Eno songs
>>61336294
I'm just sticking my arm through you fucking stanko.
>>61336216
he admitted himself that he kind of used iggy's album as a warm up for his own albums.
Plus if you take it on face value that he wrote the music while iggy wrote the lyrics (which are fine, btw), then i think his credit is deserved
>>61336370
Would calling him a prefab make you feel better?
>>61336372
I'm behind 11 proxies your arms probably in Belarus somewhere.
>>61336445
Really wish Fripp could have convinced Bowie to duet with PH on Disengage...
>>61336267
HEY anon... no more meme magic... NEVER use it EVER again
Hunky Dory
Ziggy Stardust
In that order
HErOES
>>61336588
"no"

>tfw david bowie has a kwest 4 me
>>61335736
Diamond Dogs or Ziggy, depending on my mood. Aladdin Sane is top tier too though.
I think Lodger rules
Ziggy Stardust is one of the best albums of all time desu. Stop playing yourselves. Station to Station and Low are interchangeable for second.
why does everyone hate diamond dogs?
>>61337338
The cover grosses me out and the concept is weak
>>61337338
Most of the tracks aren't memorable
>>61337372
It's literally 1984 - the album. Although some songs seem to be unrelated like Sweet Thing - Candidate - Sweet Thing Reprisal and Rebel Rebel, every other song is pretty much narrating the book.
>>61337406
His vocal performance on that album is top tier though, especially during Sweet Thing. Only bested by Lady Grinning Soul imo.
>>61335765
Hell be roight m8
blackstar I'm a blackstar
>>61336560
hunky is just a ripoff album
ooh look at me I'm david bowie I can sound like the beatles and bob dylan
ziggy is the real thing
>>61336237
thanks. now i dont have to find a pic of this album
Aladdin Sane is the best glam rock album of all time, and his best album imo, followed by Ziggy and Low
Hopefully Blackstar.

>>61335736
Ziggy.
I would've said Low but that album was mostly just Eno in all honesty.
Bowie doesn't just have 'a best album', he's got multiple. But I think ziggy stardust would be considered his best by most people
>>61335736
Normalfag rankings-
1. Best Of Bowie
2. Ziggy Stardust
3. Hunky Dory
4. N/A The rest of his albums are "for fans only". Regular folks stick to the hits.
My personal opinion-
1. Heroes
2. Low
3. Station To Station
4. Ziggy Stardust
5. Scary Monsters
Literally nothing from Space Oddity through Let's Dance is bad though.
DISCLAIMER: Haven't listened to Pin Ups.
>>61340659
it sneakily turns into an ambient Eno album after New Career.
1. Ziggy Stardust (best song being Lady Stardust)
2. Station To Station (best song being the title track)
3. "Heroes" (best song again the title track)
Prove me wrong
>>61342854
I could argue Stay being the best one from STS but the title track is really good too, good picks.
