I wonder if he embraces reflecting on that time or pretends it never happened, considering moving to France is the go-to insult for much of conservative patriotism.

James Woods was always batshit crazy. He was raised Catholic in RI (a predominantly Catholic state) and like a lot of Catholics went off the rails in adulthood ignoring most of what he was taught but now that he is older is falling back onto his conservative religious upbringing so he can be welcomed at the pearly…

Woods was a well known creep long before he became a conservative lightning rod. And I have my suspicions about Voight. Even Ronny Cox said he was a prick way back on the set of Deliverance.

this is a better list for sure kudos.   agree with everything on this list, not necessarily the order but much better than the AVs list.  Earthing is great some really fun vocals on that.  Hard to find on vinyl or was at Bowies passing.

I know it doesn’t exactly count, but I’ll always give Bowie at the Beeb a pass because it also came with Bowie at BBC 2000 concert CD.  Was always one of my sneaky favorites. 

And peoples favorite change as they get older too. I loved the Outside album when it came out, but I always thought the track “Strangers When We Meet” felt tacked on to the end. I was 25 when Outside came out and now I’m about the age Bowie was when he put out that version of “Strangers When We Meet”. Now the lyrics…

Reality shouldn’t even be showing its face without Heathen being there.

I would put Station to Station as my number one as well. It has none of my favorite Bowie songs, but I think it’s his best album. It has everything you need in a Bowie album. Opens with the weird Kraut rock title track, followed by the poppiness of the Golden Years single, followed by the Lou Reed inspired Word on a…

Heathen is so fucking good. that closing run of 4 tracks should be in the conversation for his finest work

I also like Hours.  It’s definitely a curve-ball, though.  It’s enjoyable but I can see why it doesn’t catch any attention.

I’m probably alone in enjoying "hours..." the most of Bowie's 90s albums (even if it barely scraped into the 1990s) but Earthling is solid.

I’ve always been a supporter of Tin Machine. It’s scattershot, but it’s fun and refreshing deck-clearing, and you’re absolutely right that it was a few years ahead of its time in terms of the response it could have gotten. You could take both records, eliminate the dross and the lamentable tunes where the drummer…

I +think+ you’ve got my top 5, though I’d have Scary Monsters higher, maybe at #2.  Certainly in your top 10 is my top 5, great list :)

Reality shouldn’t even be showing its face without Heathen being there.

I never gave David Live a second thought, but after Bowie died I listened through all his albums, and I was very taken with some of the arrangements on it. It’s interesting to hear the old rock songs played by a band with a bit more funk. Aladdin Sane is a big highlight. The version of All the Young Dudes is the…

Was very shocked that Earthling and The Next Day were not on this list, but Pin Ups and David Live were. 

David Live is a piece of shit. It barely even belongs on a list of David Bowie albums, never mind the top 20.

My personal preference would be Hunky Dory at 1.  So many of my favourite songs on the same album - Kooks and Queen Bitch are hard to beat.

I’m so glad to hear it-I loved Valley Girl when I first saw it on cable (and watched it many, many times) but I haven’t seen it in years.

I would put Fast Times at Ridgemont High as the funniest of those, but Valley Girl definitely had the best soundtrack.
