Song wise - between two off Hunky Dory, Song For Bob Dylan and Queen Bitch………probably 🤔
Definitely recognised as his two superlative albums of a glittering musical career.

Both brilliant songs, Cat :tup:

Probably the Lodger edges it over Hunky Dory, played Diamond Dogs a while ago and it's dated badly. Heathen is excellent, Ziggy would probably be 4, Heroes 5

Scary Monsters and Black Star are the two at the bottom of my list..

Love 'Black Star'

Heathen, one of Bowie's most underrated albums :tup:

Still alive I believe!

Woody drummed on Bowie's first four studio albums of the 70s.

Mick Ronson was from Hull, of course.

Didn’t he work for the Council as a landscape/parks officer :duno: ………..I’m sure I either read that or it was in a Bowie documentary I watched.

It will certainly be a grower..
How highly do you rate 'Toy', Hector?

Saw him live at st. georges hall in bradford (1973 if memory serves) . He was due to play leeds university refectory the following evening but the show was cancelled last minute due to the stage being too small. He ended up playing Leeds rollarena (kirkstall road) a few weeks later...
Ha ha charade you are....

I missed that one :( I lived not far away from Kirkstall Road.

Saw many concerts at Leeds Uni, Poly & Town Hall, plus a couple at the St Georges during the 70's.
