David Bowie - the last thirty years

Outside. Earthling is terribly underrated, BTW.

I guess it's actually The Next Day, although Outside, Heathen and Reality all come very close.Then there's Let's Dance, which is decent (just horridly inconsistent), and the rest, which... let's just say nothing about that except that each album has at least something I like.

hours is my favorite from his last 30 years.  But I'm still waiting for the Next Day to arrive.  I really loved about 2/3 of Outside, but thought it dragged on in parts.  But I pretty much like everything listed here, even Never Let Me Down.  

Outside is the obvious choice with its mix of techno, jazz, pop and indus rock. 

Earthling for me - great album, great production; a Bowie classic to these ears (and not just over the last 30 years either)

Earthling for me. I really don't get the rating it has here on PA Maybe it's because I watched Bowie's 50 year old birthday, - y'know the one he held in Madison Square Garden with guests like Frank Black, Sonic Youth, Lou Reed and the likes - and it was on the backbone of Earthling. A good deal of music played that night was from the album, and I absolutely loved it. I bought the album afterwards, and it has become a latter day fave from Bowie.

I was pretty impressed by Outside, so I was onboard when Earthling came out and I still like it.  It's great music for the headphones when mowing the lawn for some reason I can't explain.
