Speaking of Outside, I love the tracks The Heart's filthy lesson, Strangers when we meet and Through these architect's eyes.

And then afterwards, there's stuff like Dead man walking, Battle for Britain, Thursday's child, Survive (Steven Wilson vibe, anyone?), Slip away, New killer star, Bring me the disco king... Very diverse stuff.

I should have already said, the songs since 1995 I already have are:

Outside
The Hearts Filthy Lesson
Hello Spaceboy
The Voyeur of Utter Destruction (As Beauty)
I'm Deranged

Earthling
Little Wonder
Dead Man Walking
I'm Afraid of Americans

Heathen
Sunday
Slip Away
A Better Future

Reality
New Killer Star
Never Get Old
Bring Me the Disco King

And then I have The Next Day and Blackstar both in full.  Some of those were given to me my brother (probably half of the songs from non-completed albums and The Next Day), and the others I bought (Blackstar and the other half). 

I'll check out those recommendations, Mladen.  :hat

I finally got around to getting Station to Station. I listened to that a while back on YT, and it sounded good, so it's been on my "to get" list.

Earthling was an album not in my musical wheelhouse UT I fell in love with it.

I am a big fan of Dead Man Walking from that record.

Probably my favorite Bowie album after Low.

My top three:
1. Ziggy
2. Low
3. Station to station

Low was my favorite for a long time, but Ziggy finally totally clicked with me this year and is now easily my favorite.  I think Blackstar is one of his best as well.

Blackstar is also up there for me. So are Lodger, Let's dance, Scary monsters and The Next day.

Only David Bowie albums I never got into were Tonight, Never Let Me Down and the ones before Space Oddity

..And like Rush, I think his best work is later in his career.

Jordan Rudess filmed a record store visit on Friday and he shows him picking up a copy of Heathen on Vinyl.

I wonder if it a new issue, per Bowie's death (like much of Prince's back catalog recently).

I'd likely  be taking a copy home myself if/when I see it as well.

Nice! I bet it has something to do with it being his 70th birthday today.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

That was a nice song. Those vocals were amazing considering how ill he was.

BBC just aired a new Bowie documentary called The Last Five Years. Very good stuff, with interviews from those who worked with him toward the end. Those in the UK can stream it on their website. Others may have to do some searching to find it as I did.

This has been airing on HBO lately, so I DVR'd it and finally watched it last night. Really good stuff.

Had to bump this. Can't believe 5 years have passed. I listened to Blackstar today on the way home from the beach. Still not quite sure how I feel about it. Very different. Dark and lacking melodies but kind of puts you in a trance.

I find myself coming back to Blackstar so often. It saddens me that such a talent was gone just as he was on the cusp of something truly amazing and bold, and it would have been far from the only time he had done so.

Seeing as how it was also the 45th anniversary of the release of Station to Station today, I gave it a spin earlier. Truly one of Bowie's best as well. The title track is my favorite Bowie song of all time, and the album itself is just nothing but highlights, cocaine abuse be damned.

Yeah, I think Blackstar has held up really well. The title track, Lazarus and Dollar Days are all killer tunes, and I Can't Give Everything Away is a helluva goodbye as the last song on this last studio album before his passing.

Not sure I had posted about it in another thread, but I had never heard Aladdin Sane until a year or so ago, and I wish I hadn't waited so long.  Very similar to Ziggy Stardust in style, it is nearly as good.  The Stones cover is just kind of there, but the other nine songs all rule.
