Are there any of you out there. I'm just discovering him and I love what I've heard so far. Thing is he's brought out that many albums I don't even know where to start!!
Can any of you tell which albums to listen to first?

I used to listen to him back in the 70's/80's. My favorite albums of his were "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" and "Young Americans"

I first learned about David Bowie when I was really young and saw Labyrinth..(good kid movie) and I've loved him ever since.

I bought Labyrinth on dvd last year, kids film but still looks good now and very entertaining

LOVE Bowie! I got to see him in 1998 with Nine Inch Nails (interesting pairing to say the least!), and he is simply amazing! He's always been so cutting edge with his music.

A really good place to start for an overview of what he's done is Sound+Vision. It's a 4 disc set that covers a wide time span of his music.

Why don't you get the "greatest hits" album? I think it's a 2 cd set. He has many great songs!

I love Sound and Vision, it's nice to just have a few discs to take me with instead of a boat load when I go somewhere I can't take the Ipod. I got into him a few years back and am still buying up the catalog. My favorites this far are Aladdin Sane (that doesn't look spelled right to me.) and the Deram Collection which is a little off beat but good fun. And for newer stuff I adore the Hours CD. But then everything I hear by him I like.

I started with a great hits CD though it gave me somewhere to start. The Best of has a pretty good variety. It's way less expensive than Sound and Vision.

And on a side note, I am very jealous that you got to see him with Nine Inch Nails.

Didn't he do Under Pressure with Freddy Mercury? I love just about everything he does. My husband has almost everything he has done and I got hooked from that. We recently saw him in concert and oh man, what a show! the best I've ever seen!
