Remember you can only vote in Thread 1 or Thread 2, not both.

It is not necessary to post as to why you voted the way you did, but it would be interesting to the rest of us.

With this poll I had to leave off the last 4 albums to maintain our limit of 20.
You may still vote for any of those albums. You will just have to vote in the form of a post rather than clicking on your favorite. Your vote will still be recorded.

Those 4 albums are:

Earthling
Hours...
Heathen
Reality

Also I did not include the Tin Machine albums and they are not eligible.

Tough vote for me again, limited to this thread anyway.

I did go see Bowie on the Station To Station tour and it was superb, so that was pulling me but I ended up on
Space Oddity. Nothing on there I don't like.

I voted for Hunky Dory. That's my favorite of his that I'm familiar with.

So many fab albums to choose from...

I'd have to go with Hunky Dory. Unique music, and whilst this probably wasn't his creative high-point, it is a blast from start to finish...

Wow, what a difficult choice. I'm a massive Bowie fan and have seen him 4 times. Has there been a more influential and innovative artist? Eventually went for Ziggy as this is the album I play most often when I need a Bowie "fix".

Please join the Music Discussion - David Bowie

There was only one option for me, Ziggy. It was just the epitome of his glam period and also his last effort with Mick Ronson.
