Yeah Low and Heroes are both great recs and arguably his most creative works, I wouldn't skip Diamond Dogs though it's the closest thing to another Ziggy

When you get past the classics, listen to Outside and Heathen. Both even better than this.

I don't plan to skip anything from the 70s except maybe Pin-Ups

Also duly noted @Fripp

By classics, I pretty much mean from 1969 to 1983.

When I get off work, I'll make a selection of songs to check from post-Let's Dance though I believe all of his albums deserve a fair shake.

Let's Dance is full of solid tunes but it's pop Bowie and some people just don't like that

again, all the albums deserve a fair chance so listening to them in full also works but these songs could give you an idea of what you're in for

Black Tie White Noise is in general a great album tho but yeah it seems to be somewhat of a love it or hate it affair

I like it, but it's a bit on the samey side and Nile Rodgers' production is pretty shit

I would buy this if it wasn't so fucking expensive. The artwork alone is enough to justify the purchase.
