David Bowie, 1967
Bowie første album, der måske i dag forekommer en smule naivt når det lyttes til i dag, men man fornemmer Bowie´s stemmepontiale i flere af de minimalistiske sange med poetiske tekster. Albummet er i dag mest for hardcore fans, der ønsker en komplet samling.
Trackliste:
01 Uncle Arthur (2:07)
02 Sell Me A Coat (2:58)
03 Rubber Band - Version 2 (2:17)
04 Love You Till Tuesday (3:09)

12 She's Got Medals (2:23)
13 Maid Of Bond Street (1:43)
14 Please Mr. Gravedigger - Version 2 (2:35)
Space Oddity, 1969
Hippiekulturen havde stadig godt fat, da dette album blev udgivet af en Bob Dylan-fikseret Bowie, hvilket da også fremgår af det noget psykedeliske lydspor på Bowie´s andet album. Albummet indeholder den udødelige titelsang "Space Oddity", hvor astronauten Major Tom fortabes i det ydre rum. Albummet bliver aldrig nogen kommaciel succes, men fremstår den dag i dag som en hjørnesten i Bowie´s produktion.
Trackliste:
01 Space Oddity (5:14)
02 Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed (6:10)
03 Don't Sit Down (0:39)
04 Letter To Hermione (2:30)
05 Cygnet Committee (9:30)

08 Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud (4:47)
09 God Knows I'm Good (3:16)
10 Memory Of A Free Festival (7:07
The Man Who Sold The World, 1970
Masser af Heavyrock-guitar og fyldt med referancer til mystikeren Aleister Crowley og for første gang høres Mick Ronson på guitar. Titelnummeret blev senere kopieret af Lulu med Bowie som producer og baggrundssanger. Nummeret er endvidere indspillet af Nirvana på deres MTV-unplugged album.
Trackliste:
01 The Width Of A Circle (8:05)
02 All The Madmen (5:38)
03 Black Country Rock (3:32)
04 After All (3:51)
05 Running Gun Blues (3:11)
06 Saviour Machine (4:25)
07 She Shook Me Cold (4:13)
08 The Man Who Sold The World (3:55)
09 The Supermen (3:38)
Honky Dory 1971
Et mesterværk, fyldt med poprock og kabaret og en Bowie i pigetøj. Backingbandet "The Spiders From Mars" finder på dette album sim form og klassikerne "Changes" og Life On Mars?" fødes
Trackliste:
01 Changes (3:33)
02 Oh! You Pretty Things (3:12)
03 Eight Line Poem (2:53)
04 Life On Mars? (3:48)
05 Kooks (2:49)

08 Andy Warhol (3:53)
09 Song For Bob Dylan (4:12)
10 Queen Bitch (3:13)
11 The Bewlay Brothers (5:21)
The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, 1972
Bowie genfødes på dette album som den androgyne og bisexuelle glamrock messias "Ziggy Stardust". Albummet er et mesterværk med velkonstruede og iørefaldende melodier, der i tidens løb har og stadig inspirerer andre kunstnere.
Trackliste:
01 Five Years (4:42)
02 Soul Love (3:33)
03 Moonage Daydream (4:37)
04 Starman (4:16)
05 It Ain't Easy (2:57)
06 Lady Stardust (3:21)
07 Star (2:47)
08 Hang Onto Yourself (2:38)
09 Ziggy Stardust (3:13)
10 Suffragette City (3:25)
11 Rock 'N' Roll Suicide (2:57)
Aladdin Sane, 1973
A Lad Insane - get it!! titlen siger det hele. Mere hård glamrock i endnu mere sindsyge kostumer og en ny identitet som Halloween Jack (med klap for øjet) eller Jean Genie bag den hvidsminkede maske. Tilføjelsen af avantgardekunstneren Mike garson gjorde albummet til en vild og inciterende oplevelse. "Time", "Drive In saturday" og "Cracked Actor" er højdepunkter fra Bowie sangbogen. Dette album er samtidig Bowie´s USA gennembrud og den 30 juli samme år opførte han sin sidste "Ziggy Stardust" koncert.
Trackliste:
01 Watch That Man (4:25)
02 Aladdin Sane (5:06)
03 Drive In Saturday (4:29)
04 Panic In Detroit (4:25)
05 Cracked Actor (2:56)
06 Time (5:09)
07 The Prettiest Star (3:26)
08 Let's Spend The Night Together (3:03)
09 The Jean Genie (4:02)
10 Lady Grinning Soul (3:46)
Pin Ups, 1973
Bowie´s første musikalske ungdom faldt sammen med Swinging Londons storhedstid: 1964-67. Hovedstaden myldrede med "Beatgrupper" af enhver tænkelig observans. Albummet er en hyllest til dem med covernumre af The Easybirds, The Who, Pretty Things, The Kings, Syd Barretts og især Pink Floyd. Dette er det sidste album med "The Spiders"...bye Ronson (?!)
Trackliste:
01 Rosalyn (2:27) Jimmy Duncan/Bill Farley
02 Here Comes The Night(3:09) Bert Berns
03 I Wish You Would(2:40)Billy Arnold
04 See Emily Play (4:03) Syd Barrett

08 Sorrow (2:48) Feldman/Goldstein/Gottehrer
09 Don't Bring Me Down (2:01) Johnnie Dee
10 Shapes Of Things (2:47) Samwell-Smith/McCarty/Relf
11 Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere (3:04) Pete Townshend/Roger Daltrey
12 Where Have All The Good Times Gone (2:35) Ray Davies
Diamond Dogs, 1974
Det her er apocalypse a la carte, og ind imellem tangerer det sci-fi thrash - pladens afsæt er Geroge Orwells skræmmende roman 1984 - men overall en overset perle i værket. Bowie spiller selv alle guitarer - rigtig godt endda - Garson er stadig med, og nogle af Bowwie´s stærkeste tekster fra hans dekadente periode findes her. "We Are The Dead" og Sweet Thing" hører til blandt hans bedste sange og numre som "Rebel Rebel" viser hvor poppet han kunne være på en og samme gang.
Trackliste:
01 Future Legend (1:05)
02 Diamond Dogs (5:56)
03 Sweet Thing (3:39)
04 Candidate (2:40)
05 Sweet Thing (reprise) (2:31)
06 Rebel Rebel (4:30)
07 Rock 'N Roll With Me (4:00)
08 We Are The Dead (4:58)
09 1984 (3:27)
10 Big Brother (3:21)
11 Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family (2:00)
Young Americans, 1975
På sin turne i USA har Bowie opdaget Blueeyed-soul, som han omdøber til Plastic-Soul, måske også en hentydning til eskalerende kokainmisbrug. "Fascination" - som Bowie skrev med den dengang ukendte Luther Vandross! - er rimelig, mens "Fame" og titelnummeret er suveræne.
Trackliste:
01 Young Americans (5:10)
02 Win (4:44)
03 Fascination (5:43)
04 Right (4:13)
05 Somebody Up There Likes Me (6:30)
06 Across The Universe (4:30)
07 Can You Hear Me (5:04)
08 Fame (4:12)
Station To Station, 1976
Et musikalsk vendepunkt og en blændende genfødsel som den kolde Crooneren "The Thin White Duke". Han havde spillet med i filmen "The Man Who Fell To Earth", hvilket kan høres. " It´s not the sideeffects ofcocaine/ I´m thinking it must be love" (måske!!) "The return of the thin white Duke/throwing darts in lovers eyes". Pop-numrene "Golden Years" og TVC15 har noget nyt over sig og fortolkningen af "Wild Is The Wind" er en af hans største vokalpræstationer.
Trackliste:
01 Station To Station (10:08)
02 Golden Years (4:03)
03 Word On A Wing (6:00)
04 TVC15 (5:29)
