Scary Monsters - the last great Bowie album - who's with me here?
I love this album - kinds of seems like Bowie's "Cold Turkey"

He dips in and out of all of his previous styles - some songs sound like Berlin era, Alladin Sane or Ziggy.

After that, everything he did sucked.

1. I'm not sure how one doesn't include Let's Dance as a great album.
Nile Rodgers meets Stevie Ray Vaughn? What's not to love?

4. In the 80's to today, it was
But back in his heyday - the Ziggy and Thin White Duke eras, he, Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, Mick Ronson and Adrian Belew made some amazing tunes.

Check out Hunky Dory and Heroes for examples.
