I saw an interview yesterday with Iggy. He said the album credits his band but it's basically Bowie playing everything in overdubs.

Was that on that Sound & Vision documentary? Think I've seen it.

The Idiot is quality, Nightclubbing & Funtime are eerie as f*ck, can imagine being in some seedy part of Berlin listening to them. I heard Lodger before The Idiot so when I heard The Idiot I was pleasantly surprised to hear two tracks I recognised, I ended up preferring the original ones too tbh.

Scary Monsters is my fave so definitely check it. Pretty raw and messy in the same way as heroes, but his top tier avant pop and song writing is on show.

Can I start off voting on the other 3? **** this is so hard. I'm gonna go Low. I love it very much, it's top tier Bowie, but I like Heroes and Scary Monsters that bit more. Sorry Low :-(

Since I really doubt that a bunch of staunch Lodger supporters are going to appear out of nowhere there's no harm in ending the vote a little early. And since the next one will be especially hard, why not make it especially long.

Station to Station (1976)
Low (1977)
“Heroes” (1977)
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980)

Vote one off by the end of the next week. I'm really undecided between Low and Scary Monsters. Actually all five albums from round three have been on heavy rotation the past week and they are all just so damn good. I feel like being forced to shoot one of five adorable puppies.
