	David Bowie Space Oddity 1969 RCA Records (previously released as Man of Words. Man of Music.) 1972 RCA Re-issue			Space Oddity Unwashed and Somewhat ................. Slightly Dazed Letter to Hermione Cygnet Committee	Janine An Occassional Dream The Wild Eyed Boy from ....................... Freecloud God Knows I'm Good Memory of a Free Festival
Bowie's first release, re-released in 1972 to cash in on the success he achieved with Ziggy Stardust. Don't think they expected "Space Oddity' to be such a huge hit, though, second time around. Since I'm following chronological order, this record is displayed first.

	David Bowie The Man Who Sold the World 1970 Mercury Records			The Width of a Circle All the Madmen Black Country Rock After All	Running Gun Blues Saviour Machine She Shook Me Cold The Man Who Sold the World The Supermen
A strange record, something that took me years to get into. Still isn't one of my favourites, but it's okay.

	David Bowie Hunky Dory 1972 RCA Records			Changes Oh! You Pretty Things / ......... Eight Line Poem Life On Mars? Kooks Quicksand	Fill Your Heart / Andy Warhol Song for Bob Dylan Queen Bitch The Bewlay Brothers
Has my favourite Bowie song on it ('Life on Mars')! Still, he's not quite there yet, but he's well on his way.

	David Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars 1972 RCA Records 1990 RykoDisc Re-issue			Five Years Soul Love Moonage Daydream Starman It Ain't Easy	Lady Stardust Star Hang Onto Yourself Ziggy Stardust Suffragette City Rock 'n' Roll Suicide CD Bonus Trafcks: John, I'm Only Dncing Velvet Goldmine Sweet Head Ziggy Stardust Lady Stardust
Ah, now THIS is it! One of the best albums by anyone ever! A true classic and if you don't have it you should be banished to the farthest reaches of space for all eternity. It's that good of a record.

	David Bowie Aladdin Sane 1973 RCA Records			Watch That Man Aladdin Sane (1913-1938- .................................. 197?) Drive-In Saturday Night Panic in Detroit Cracked Actor	Time The Prettiest Star Let's Spend the Night Together The Jean Genie Lady Grinning Soul
Fumbled on this one. Though there are some strong individual tracks here, overall the album suffers. Too schizophrenic.

	David Bowie Diamond Dogs 1974 RCA Records			Future Legend Diamond Dogs Sweet Thing Candidate Sweet Thing (Reprise) Rebel Rebel	Rock 'n' Roll with Me We are the Dead 1984 Big Brother Chant of the Ever Circling ...................... Skeletal Family
Supposedly Bowie's take on an Orwellian-type future. Still haven't been able to figure this one out.

	David Bowie Young Americans 1975 RCA Records			Young Americans Win Fascination Right	Somebody Up There Likes Me Across the Universe Can You Hear Me Fame
More song-oriented, less thematic. And a breath of fresh air, too. Plus, it has John Lennon singing back-up on 'Fame.' If you listen closely, you can hear Lennon quite clearly.

	David Bowie Station to Station 1976 RCA Records			Station to Station Golden Years Word On a Wimg	TVC 15 Stay Wild is the Wind CD Bonus Tracks: Word On a Wing (live) Stay (live)
A combination of single song structure and thematic unity. Don't know exactly what the theme is, but it's a good record - all I care about!

	David Bowie Starting Point 1977 London Records			The Laughing Gnome Lov You Till Tuesday Please Mr. Gravedigger We Are the Hungry Men The London Boys	Come and Buy My Toys Karma Man When I Live My Dream Join the Gang Silly Boy Blue
London Records decided to cash in on Bowie's success, and his recent vacation from new material, to release this collection of early Bowie singles that hadn't seen the light of day since the late 60s. And many still wish they hadn't.

	David Bowie Low 1977 RCA Records			Speed of Life Breaking Glass What in the World Sound and Vision Always Crashing in ................ the Same Car Be My Wife	A New Career in a New Town Warszawa Art Decade Weeping Wall Subterraneans CD Bonus Tracks: Some Are All Saints Sound and Vision (re-mix 1991)
Bowie's first Berlin album, recorded with Brian Eno. Not commerically viable, but extremely important in Bowie's growth as an artist. If you're in the right mood, then this album (along with 'Heroes' and The Lodger) are absolutely amazing.

	David Bowie 'Heroes' 1977 RCA Records			Beauty and the Beast Joe the Lion 'Heroes' Sons of the Silent Age Blackout	V-2 Schneider Sense of Doubt Moss Garden Neukoln The Secret Life of Arabia CD Bonus Tracks: Abdulmajid Joe the Lion (re-mix, 1991)
More of the same. Incredible. Not commercial at all.

	David Bowie Lodger 1979 RCA Records			Fantastic Voyage African Night Flight Move On Yassassin (Turkish for: ........................ Long Live) Red Sails	D.J. Look Back in Anger Boys Keep Swinging Repetition Red Money CD Bonus Tracks: I Pray, Ole Look Back in Anger (1988 ver.)
Probably the most commerical of the Berlin albums, Bowie also effectively delved into the video realm for 'D.J.'

	David Bowie Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) 1980 RCA Records			It's No Game (Part 1) Up the Hill Backwards Scary Monsters (and ............... Super Creeps) Ashes to Ashes Fashion	Teenage Wildlife Scream Like a Baby Kingdom Come Because You're Young It's No Game (Part 2)
With the help of MTV, Bowie released his first commercially successful album since Ziggy Stardust. He also revisited 'Space Oddity' through 'Ashes to Ashes,' which was very cool.

	David Bowie Let's Dance 1983 EMI Records			Modern Love China Girl Let's Dance Without You	Ricochet Criminal World Cat People (Putting Out Fire) Shake It
Bowie at his most successful. Thankfully, he didn't prostitute himself (like Heart in 1985) and released a commerically viable, while artistically sound, album.

	David Bowie Serious Moonlight 1983 sirtwiggly records			Look Back in Anger 'Heroes' What in the World Golden Years Fashion / Let's Dance __________________	Breaking Glass Life On Mars? Sorrow Cat People Chia Girl Scary Monsters _______________
				Rebel Rebel White Light / White Heat Station to Station Cracked Actor	Ashes to Ashes Space Oddity Young Americans Fame CD Bonus Track: Underground
Bowie's most successful tour to date, bootlegged off a video release at the time. Ain't technology wonderful?

	David Bowie Tonight 1984 EMI America Records			Loving the Alien Don't Look Down God Only Knows Tonight	Neighborhood Threat Blue Jean Tumble and Twirl I Keep Forgetting Dancing with the Big Boys
Oh, David, what were you thinking? This is what happens when Bowie kowtows to record company pressure and tries overtly to be commercial. Shame. Luckily, he learned his lesson.

	David Bowie Never Let Me Down 1987 EMI Records			Day-In Day-Out Time Will Crawl Beat of Your Drum Never Let Me Down Zeroes	Glass Spider Shining Star (Makin' My Love) New York's in Love '87 and Cry Too Dizzy Bang Bang
I loved this record! I thought every song was great, and the added bonus of Peter Frampton playing guitar was wonderful! The public hated this record - goes to show that taste is not governed by commerce.

	David Bowie Glass Spider 1987 sirtwiggly records			Glass Spider Fame Bang Bang Rebel Rebel 'Heroes' Sons of the Silent Age	Jean Genie Let's Dance Time White Light White Heat Modern Love CD Bonus Tracks: Absolute Beginners That's Motivation
A bootleg I taped off of TV in 1987 from ABC (US). 'White Light White Heat' has Charlie Sexton guesting, and and Peter Frampton is also here handling guitar and vocal duties with his best mate, Bowie..

	David Bowie 1966 1988 Dunhill / Garland Records			And I Say to Myself Can't Help Thinking About Me I'm Not Losing Sleep	I Dig Everything Do Anything You Say Good Morning Girl
Bowie was part of a band in the mid-60 's Mod scene called The Lower Third. This EP contains some of the singles the band did. Not bad, especially if you like the Mod scene, like me.

	David Bowie Sound + Vision 1990 Rykodisc Records			Space Oddity Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud The Prettiest Star London Bye Ta-Ta Black Country Rock The Man Who Sold the World The Bewlay Brothers Changes Round and Round Moonage Daydream John, I'm Only Dancing Drive in Saturday Panic in Detroit Ziggy Stardust (live) White Light / White Heat Rock 'n' Roll Suicide (live) __________________	Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere Sorrow Don't Bring Me Down 1984 / Dodo Big Brother Rebel Rebel Suffragettte City (live) Watch That Man (live) Cracked Actor (live) Young Americans Fascination After Today It's Hard to Be a Saint ..................... in the City TVC 15 Wild is the Wind _______________
				Sound and Vision Be My Wife Speed of Life Helden joe the Hero Sons of the Silent Age Station to Station (live) Warszawa (live) Breaking Glass (live) Red Sails Look Back in Anger Boys Keep Swinging Up the Hill Backwards Kingdom Come Ashes to Ashes	*Video* Ashes to Ashes Audio John, I'm Only Dancing Changes The Superman
Bowie's box set, chronicling his entire career, up to this release. If you're a fan and love multiple versions of songs, get this. If you don't like such stuff and have his other albums, forget it.

	David Bowie Black Tie White Noise 1993 Savage Records			The Wedding You've Been Around I Feel Free Black Tie White Noise Jump They Say Nite Flights	Pallas Athena Miracle Goodnight Don't Let Me Down & Down Looking for Lester I Know It's Gonna .... ... .... Happen Someday The Wedding Song CD Bonus Tracks: Jump They Say (Alternate Mix) Lucy Can't Dance
A great album that nobody heard. Released on a small label, it suprisingly did spawn a hit single with 'Jump They Say.' Forget Tin Machine - THIS is Bowie.

	David Bowie Outside.1 1995 Virgin Records			Leon Takes Us Outside Outside The Hearts Filthy Lesson A Small Plot of Land Segue - Baby Grace (A Horrid ..... ...... ...... ..... ............ Cassette) Hallo Spaceboy The Motel I Have Not Been to ... ..... ... .....Oxford Town No Control	Segue - Algeria Touchshriek The Voyeur of Utter ... .... Destruction (as Beauty) Segue - Ramaona A. Stone / I Am ..... ..... ..... ... ...... with Name Wishful Beginnings We Prick You Segue - Nathan Adler I'm Deranged Thru' These Architect's Eyes Segue - Nathan Adler Strangers When We Meet
Dark. Disturbing. A play centered around cyberspace, erotic art and a serial killer. Unbelievable that such an uplifiting song as 'Strangers When We Meet' could come from this dark place in Bowie's psyche.

	David Bowie Earthling 1997 Virgin Records			Little Wonder Looking for Satellites Battle for Britain (The Letter) Seven Years in Tibet	Dead Man Walking Telling Lies The Last Thing You Should Do I'm Afraid of Americans Law (Earthlings On Fire)
At 50, few musicians can still rock. Or can they? Bowie proves with conviction that he is still a force to be reckoned with. Cashing in on the craze of drum 'n' bass, Bowie shows EVERYONE how to do it right. Great record!

	David Bowie 'hours . . .' 1999 Virgin Records			Thursday's Child Something in the Air Survive If I'm Dreaming My Life Seven	What's Really Happening? The Pretty Things are ..... ..... ..... .... Going to Hell New Angels of Promise Brilliant Adventure The Dreamers
Outside of the cover art being absolutely brilliant, there's little left to be said about this release. Except for this: Bowie will always be one artist who is truly an artist. He forever strives to explore himself and is never afraid to release an album of its own merits. Singles and airplay be damned. For this alone, I will always be a fan.

	David Bowie Heathen 2002 ISO Records			Sunday Cactus Slip Away Slow Burn Afraid I've Been Waiting for You	I Would Be Your Slave I Took a Trip On a Gemini ..... ..... ..... ..... Spaceship 5.15 The Angels Have Gone Everyone Says 'Hi' A Better Future Heathen (The Rays)
Again, the man is an artist. However, it might be time to start writing some rocking tunes. Two albums in a row of introspection can be a little much.

	David Bowie Reality 2003 ISO / Columbia Records			New Killer Star Pablo Picasso Never Get Old The Loneliest Guy Looking for Water	She'll Drive the Big Car Days Fall Dog Bombs the Moon Try Some, Buy Some Reality Bring Me the Disco King
Ahhh . . . after the disappointment that was Heathen, Bowie returns with one of his strongest albums to date. Bless David Bowie and never let him change from the wonderful chameleon that he is.
