David Bowie is my musical hero as far as solo artists go. There were many phases of Bowie in both fashion and music for me to fall in love with. Which past phases of Bowie's career do you like best from the following: '60s Musical Hall - 1967-68 Folk - 1969 Long, Blonde Hair - 1970-1871 Ziggy Stardust - 1972-1974 Blue-Eyed Soul - 1975-1976 Berlin/Thin White Duke - 1977-1979 Scary Monsters - 1980-1981 '80's' - 1982-1992 Techno - 1993-2009.

My favorite stuff is from Heroes forward though there are a few albums in that range that I am less than enthusiastic for, but hey.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I suppose from 1970-1973....but there are tracks from later ones I do enjoy.
Bowie has always been hit or miss with me.

Same as Dr Wu23. After Aladdin Sane I didn't really appreciate his music - apart from Scary Monsters which I did like.

1970 to 1974. After Diamond Dogs (an underrated album if ever there was one), he kind of lost me.

Everything from Space Oddity to Scary Monsters.....basically the whole of the 70s.  Can't get into the new Bowie stuff....he tries to hard to either shake off his past or dive head first into it. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

That's the period I like best too, and I'm really looking forward to the new album, it's something completely different, judging by the first single.

Bowie was an extremely talented hit-maker so his greatest art-pop hits are actually that best stuff of his catalogue, nevermind which phase.

I dont understand the way you split it up, but that is another story.
Most of my favorite albums are from 1975-1980 that is from Young A. to Monsters.
Some of the early albums are great too.

I haven't listened to all of his stuff, but my favorites are Low, Heroes, Scary Monsters, 1. Outside, and Earthling. I haven't listened to any of his stuff after Earthling yet, though it's on my "YouTube" radar.

I like the trilogy "Low", "Heroes" and "Lodger" best, especially "Lodger". I also like his Tin Machine stuff a lot

For the Bowie fans.....title track from his upcoming album.
It's interesting but can't say it does much for me. I also listened to 'Sue' and 'Tis a Shame She's a Whore'...which came out a while back. I thought the jazz players on 'Sue' were good but didn't really care for his vocals or lyrics that much. 'She's A Whore' was really disappointing to me......ces't la vie.

My favourite era of Bowie is from 1969 to 1974. His first 7 albums. Blackstar is weird, strangest thing ever but it's brilliant! I am very excited about this album release. :)
