I had the album decades ago and I loved/love it... A friend of mine stole it from me. She's still one of my best friends

I love "Cygnett Comittee" (sp?)... I love the other songs too but Cygnett is a must in my soundtrack.

It would be a good Christmas present...

bowie is soo cool i have heard space odity over 100 times but i still love it.

I still think no album of his will ever match Hunky Dory and Low.

[RonJonSurfer]

I'm just happy seeing a 14 year old and an 18 year old digging Space Oddity, Low and Hunky Dory.

I'm a fan of Aladdin Sane and Pin-Ups (an album of Bowie doing cover songs from the British Invasion 1973.)

[Kevin]

Pin-Ups ! Under appreciated !

[edna]

Ziggy Stardust and Aladin Sane

[RockyRaccoon]

Then again there is The Man Who Sold The World, Lodger, and Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).

But those combined with Low, Hunky Dory, and Ziggy Stardust are the best Bowie albums to date.

I love bowie in general

My dad has almost his entire discography on vinyl and I listen to it frequently

The opening song on mom and dad's wedding was from Bowie too.

(at least that's what they told me, I wasn't there yet )
