Strange to thing that soon it'll be 3 years since he died.
Lots of great albums, but Station to Station is the one I return to most. How you come up with something like that is beyond me. The guitars howl and scream, the vocals otherworldly, the subject matter dense and dark. I consider it a twin album of Blackstar which I think comes from a similar place. They are both staring into the abyss albums with long title tracks, fewer and longer tracks, and a real longing to connect in some way.
It's funny how time changes you, when I was a kid it was Ziggy Stardust, Man Who Sold the World and Hunky Dory, these days it's Station to Station, Heroes, Diamond Dogs and Blackstar.

One thing for Bowie is that he spanned all genres.

Special shout out needs to go to Mick Ronson as well what a guitarist he was.
