Default Bowie Album Survivor: Final Round

Is it worth a try? He has nearly thirty albums. Would anyone be interested in a thread like this? I'm sure you all know how it goes: vote off albums until we're left with the best Bowie album.

If there's enough interest I'll get it running. If not, please delete the thread some kind mod.

Apparently it is. And we are off! Thanks to grindy for compiling the lists and separating them into rounds. Here's the full thing:

I love you, TH. We can add Tin Machine if you want more albums.

I was thinking of a builder/survivor, where we give and take away points from albums. It would last longer.

I think the standard survivor rules work best. I'll put the list together and post it tomorrow.

Why not? I need to get on with it anyways. Been really lazy with my Bowie listening until today.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I'm in. I think for the most part the survivor style is an efficient way of determining a group's ranking for albums
