The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)
Aladdin Sane (1973)
Diamond Dogs (1974)

I go with Diamond Dogs.

Aladdin Sane, cuz Diamond Dogs is my favourite of his glam stuff.

Ziggy Stardust, because I'm being controversial.

btw grindy does the thread title need an update?

It's still round two, so not really.

Still Diamond Dogs for me

Aladdin Sane

I was just wondering if we should be giving reasons why we think an album should survive? May make it a little more interesting?
Anyway, up to you guys - you've been here a lot longer than me.

I'm playing all Bowie's albums back to back in the car and giving them a good analysing, and between these two, it's not too difficult for me.

Diamond Dogs has Rebel Rebel, 1984 and Big Brother, but apart from that I'm not too struck on it. Never liked the title track for instance.

Aladdin Sane is virtually a less-good continuation of 'Ziggy Stardust', but musch better than 'DDs' with Panic In Detroit, Cracked Actor, the beautiful Prettiest Star and great singles Jean Genie and Drive-In Saturday. Not to mention the mini-rock opera of Time.

So off goes Diamond Dogs for me.

Sorry to ramble on guys.
