Bowie begin his mix of power rock and ballads. Link

Another
step forward as Bowie hews out a rockier sound, but loses none of
his song-writing prowess. This has some of the best guitar work on
any of his albums. |

A
seminal Bowie classic where all his songwriting power is unleashed
in a series of quirky vignettes. A truly great rock/pop album Link

Bowie

Where
Bowie's pristine songwriting meets art deco instrumentals. Another
change of direction which is partly effective, partly kitsch but
sometimes rather too introverted. |

patchy album with some high spots but too many lows to drag it out

partial return to form marked by some stylish writing which
occasionally is too stodgy for comfort Link
