Hunky Dory vs. Ziggy Stardust (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

I know some people prefer Low, but for most it comes down to these two near perfect albums. One way to choose is simply to rank each song from 1-10 and then add up the results. So here goes:

Hunky Dory

Changes 10

Oh! You Pretty Things 10

Eight Line Poem 7

Life on Mars? 10

Kooks 8

Quicksand 9

Fill Your Heart 6

Andy Warhol 8

Song for Bob Dylan 9

Queen ##### 10

The Belway Brothers 9

Total score: 96

Ziggy Stardust

Five Years 8

Soul Love 8

Moonage Daydream 9

Starman 10

It Ain't Easy 7

Lady Stardust 10

Star 8

Hang On To Yourself 7

Ziggy Stardust 10

Suffragette City 9

Rock 'N' Roll Suicide 9

Total score: 95

So there you have it! Hunky Dory wins by the closest of rankings. (for me, anyhow)

 

[Tom Servo]

Really, the only loser is the guy who hates either album.

[Smack Tripper]

Hunky by far for me

 

[HellToupee]

Really close in my book but Moonage Daydream puts Ziggy over the top for me.

My favorite Bowie album is Station to Station

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Both, but Ziggy because it's Ziggy Stardust man. You know, Ziggy played guitar?
