The list:

1. Never Let Me Down
2. Tin Machine
3. Tonight
4. Tin Machine II
5. David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf"
6. Earthling
7. David Live
8. Glass Spider Live
9. Don't be Fooled by the Name
10.Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (The Motion Picture Soundtrack)

No bases left uncovered there, I don't think.

Seriously? Tonight is on the list? Even hardened 80s-philes would struggle to pick that one surely.

OK, I've now twigged that isn't the list! Doh! Apologies for slow-uptake :)

If anything I'd say "Never let Me Down" was marginally worse than "Tonight"! "Tonight" at least has "Blue Jean" on it which I don't mind...

Is this the least list? Surely I've read something a bit wrong.

Although, what some people forget to mention is how good Baal was.

Bowie - Baal's Hymn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nsGE5KWa6Q

Not Bowie's songs, but quite magnificent!

This is obviously good - Jacques Brel - Dans Le Port d'Amsterdam - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U06PicY2C4

And this is a brilliant version

Well I really liked Earthling actually and it would make my top 10! As would Outside which also wasn't on the list... or The Man Who Sold the World. Had to choose between Low and Blackstar and plumped for the former only because it has been with us longer so is easier to appraise.

Yes, I was also little irked that "The Man Who Sold the World" wasn't on there - I'd have chosen that above four or five of the ones they did include. I plumped for "Low" in the end, although for me it was an extremely close run between that and "Hunky Dory". No sign of his debut album either, although that's a little more understandable, I suppose.
