Best of Bowie

There are probably more gems from the early glam era and the mid-'70s soul/funk era that followed than in later phases, but "Heroes" (which came near the beginning of the "Berlin" period) is one of my favorite records, by anyone, ever.

I'm not as big a fan of the '80s megahits but there's good stuff there too.

Listening to Bowie back in the '70s, I don't think I would have predicted just how durable his catalog turned out to be. He caught a lot of flak back then for his constant changes, which many critics took as insincerity. But now, when an old Bowie record comes on the radio, it's almost always something worthy of repeated listening.
