You can keep Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane etc (glam rock generally isn't my thing). This is my favorite Bowie album, and no doubt one of his most innovative. A collaboration with Brian Eno (produced by Tony Visconti), Low merges Eno's ambient and electronic experimentation (as seen on minor classics such as Another Green World and Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy) with Bowie's innate pop sense to create a truly excellent record. Released in 1977, Low proved that David had recovered from his somewhat flatulent "plastic soul" period with ease and was still relevant in the face of rock's new generation (Sex Pistols, Ramones, Elvis Costello, The Clash, Wire etc.). It also established the course he would take on the next 3 albums--Heroes, Lodger (Parts 2 & 3 of the "Berlin Trilogy") and Scary Monsters.
