Love Lady Stardust, and love how Tom Robinson namechecks it in 2-4-6-8.
UTHB is great too.

Wolt, before you get a tep boner, remember he was my lone Aerosmith defender.

Heroin Aerosmith is great, Alicia Silverstone Aerosmith are clowns.

I'll admit I liked Pump when it came out, but no staying power.

I said that time may change me, but I can't trace time.
That's great.

I like their 80's schmaltz for what it is. Love in an Elevator and Angel are great, though horribly dated.
I fear Wolt's wrath if we continue this discussion here.
I don't know shit about it his catalog, but here's my stab at five songs:
Space Oddity
Diamond Dogs (only one listen though)
Changes
Sound and Vision
Warszawa

This is what happens when a fairly decent song writer but bland performer has his material performed by a star.

Alright, Greetings era Bruce had no clue how to capture his songs on record. Live versions of that tune from 75 SMOKE. Bowie's studio version is better than Bruce's, but a proper live take from Bruce is probably equal if not better.

Time
Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
Station to Station
Modern Love
Ashes to Ashes
TVC 15 is great, but I find the outro a bit dull.
Also Mott's version of All the Young Dudes possibly trumps this whole list for me
