David Bowie

Lodger can be a challenging listen so i can understand people not getting into it. But as usual he had already invented post punk and was pushing forward ever more with this gem.

Only heard The Man Who Sold the World which is a seriously underrated album, perhaps would recommend it to a Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin fan over most of his audience, need to listen to his other records and 1970s glam rock in general more. Also the Berlin Trilogy since I get the impression it was a huge influence on a good deal of stuff I listen to, and did more than Kraftwerk and company to popularize electronically based instrumentation as a new paradigm for music.

Bowie's a talented guy. I've only heard his studio LPs up to 1983 or so. Very innovative, great voice.
Ziggy Stardust is the best. 10/10 catchy glam opera about a alien rock n roller.
Hunky Dory, as you said has some fantastic songs. If it weren't for a few bits of filler it might be a 10/10 as well for me.
Station to Station and Low are both really strong albums, each very unique, inventive, and powerful in their own rights. Heroes as well, though it's a little inconsistent. Let's Dance, though no artistic triumph, is a catchy new wave dance record. It's worth the listen imo.
The others (from the late 60s to early 80s) range from pretty good to kinda mediocre.

I had a copy of Heroes on cassette which I liked but didn't really get into him until Outside came out.  I like the albums where he worked with progressive artists the best - Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, David Torn.  I may be forgetting a few.

this is a rare and beautiful song recorded by Bowie during Ziggy Stardust in 1971 but not released at the time. it's different, I love this song, it's vulnerable, mostly because of those vocals.

I like most of his albums, and it's so difficult to me to make a choice... also because I can find terrific songs even in albums I don't like very much (an example: I'm not very much into "Scary Monsters...", but "Ashes to Ashes" is a masterpiece definitely). An honorable mention for "The Next Day": I didn't expect such a good album after all these years!

I've been listening to the Tin Machine albums recently. There are some good tracks on them, not every track but at least half of the songs are good. I think they get unfairly dismissed by a lot of critics and Bowie fans.
