    4. Lodger
    3. Station to Station
    2. Low
    1. Blackstar

    The top three can switch at any moment, but right now, I feel that Blackstar is Bowie's best album. What a way to go out... and an even better album.

    5. Outside

    I still have not felt comfortable enough to listen to 'Blackstar' often so that is why I cannot consider it in any Ranking, as when playing that Album it just reminds me of that night I heard the News that Bowie had Passed Away, then it make me depressed. Although, I chose to believe that Bowie never Died, but he returned to Outer Space, as he was just visiting Earth for 69 Years.

    Hard to leave off 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, 'Aladdin Sane' and 'Black Tie, White Noise'(my first Bowie Album, as the great thing about Bowie's Long, Diverse Discography is that we all jumped in at different Entry Points, although I bought the 2 CD Set 'Singles' around the same time, so had all of his Well Known Songs).

    Bonus Section-My 10 Favorite Bowie Songs:

    1. Ashes to Ashes
    2. Absolute Beginners
    3. Bring Me the Disco King
    4. Heroes
    5. Cat People(Putting Out Fire)
    6. Station to Station
    7. Space Oddity
    8. Lazarus
    9. Let's Dance
    10. Slip Away

    Aladdin Sane, Fame and Five Years just missed the cut.

    This just may be my list as well--except I also want to find a place for Diamond Dogs, but can't quite figure out which of the others to take out. It would probably (and reluctantly) have to be Ziggy, leaving my list as:

    Blackstar
    Scary Monsters
    "Heroes"
    Low
    Diamond Dogs

    Not sure they're in any order--I like them each about the same, with Ziggy, Lodger, and 1:Outside all coming very close.

    It ch-ch-changes all the time! *cue eye roll*

    But at the moment my top three are:
    1. Station to Station
    2. Blackstar
    3. Scary Monsters

    The last two are impossible to choose, so right now it'll be:
    4. Ziggy Stardust
    5. Heathen

    And then everything else.
