IMO the lyrics became too cryptic, and the music never recovered from the loss of Mick Ronson's guitar, but if you have a fave from his later albums, I'll give it a shot, grindy.
I think the Berlin albums and Station To Station are easily as good as his earlier stuff.
And did you hear Blackstar? In this case the hype was justified. Amazing album. I also really like Outside and Scary Monsters, although those albums are just a bit less amazing.
