The three albums that comprise Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy" (although most of Lodger was recorded in Switzerland).

All three are excellent in their own ways, and I think Lodger may be the most underrated album of Bowie's career, but "Low" is my fave.

My appreciation for Bowie has come much later than many of his contemporaries...but I'm with MP, "Heroes" would be my pick of those three albums.

Yes well.....not to be predictable or anything but I have to go with "Heroes".

Low wins on the strength of side A. Heroes deserves honorable mention for best cover art though.

Heroes is my pick.

Low is good but I just don't love it like some people. (Pitchfork called it the best album of the 70's) I've tried to get into this album but it still won't click, I can't get that "holy shit" reaction that I got with Ziggy Stardust.

Lodger is the weakest of the bunch, still good.

I have to say David Bowie's album cover art is terrible on average. Ziggy is okay, but most of the others are just....boring. Too bad the music inside the covers deserves better.:D
