Pixies have "Silver".
Ziggy is perfect.

Pixies.

I like Bowie, and the Ziggy Persona was epic, but I can't say I listen to that album that often.

I'm standing with The Machine on this one.

I'mma wait on this one. 2 records I like well enough and respect but don't have a natural inclination to vote for.

Not "meh". More like "feh".

In my case, I LIKE these albums better than Ziggy (I don't necessarily think they are better albums)

1) Aladdin Sane
2) Station to Station
3) Scary Monsters
4) Heroes
5) Diamond Dogs

I can think of one:
Hunky Dory

But that's it. (And even that could flip on a given day.)

Low
Hunky Dory
Station to Station
Aladdin Sane
Scary Monsters

Possibly in that order. Depending on the day I might also say Lodger. Just always liked it more, personally.

It shocks me how many people so easily dismiss Ziggy.

"Fashion" is one of my all-time favorite Bowie songs, but you are crazy.
