Please do rate your owns

I haven't listened to all of those albums, so I'll go with the ones I've heard (although they are more than 5). I suspect that there are a few of the ones I yet haven't heard though, which maybe could make the list (I'm betting "Diamond dogs" is great overall, guess I should check it out). But no can do at this moment, so...here's my list:

1. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
2. Low
3. "Heroes"/Space Oddity/Station to Station/Hunky Dory

I'm absolutely sure about my first and second on the list, but I just couldn't rank the other four I chose, so yeah...they all went in to the third spot.

1. strangers when we meet
2. the bewley brothers
3. up the hill backwards
4. queen bitch
5. baby universal

1. We Can Be Heroes
2. " " " "
3. " " " "
4. " " " "
5. We Can Be Heroes:thumb:

Tough one. Not only are most of them (up to Let's Dance, needless to say) extremely good, they are also so different. But here, goes:

1. Scary Monsters
2. Aladdin Sane
3. Hunky Dory
4. Heroes
5. Low

I very much like Baal, Station to station and Lodger too. And even Young Americans. And Space Oddity. And Let's Dance. And Ziggy, even though I think that is somewhat overrated.

cheers

At the moment:

Station To Station
Scary Monsters
Outside
Heathen
Low

1. Ziggy
2. Hunky Dory

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy
