Station to Station, eh? Very nice, very nice.

Robert, yeah, but -- this might amuse you -- I don't actually have all that much digitized. I have a dial-up connection, and until recently had very limited hard drive space. Most of my stuff continues to be on cd. Most of that is for economic reasons, but I am also still enamored of the idea of albums and like them as discrete units. I'm don't maintain that the old ways are better or anything -- I'm not an Album Purist, and think it's a pretty silly historical stance to take -- but I am conditioned for albums.
Ethan, Station to Station is probably my favorite Bowie album. That or Lodger. I like each of them all the way through.
Richard, I tried shuffle at work for a while, and online radio, but I found that I need to be more controlling about what's playing while I work. Having the same music on for a while helps me get into a work groove.

Station to Station is without a doubt my favorite Bowie album, and I've got (and enjoy, embarrassingly) all twenty-six of them. Not a weak instant on the entire thing.
I'm surprised you say Lodger--it's down towards the bottom in my ranking. I like the singles a whole lot and can't get into any of the rest.
I would also like to add to the Six Organs of Admittance props--I didn't notice them the first time I saw your list and they're pretty damn awesome.
I think one of my favorite things about this blog you've got here is that you're willing to admit to all of the senseless little obsessive things you do. I do them too, but I never tell anyone.
