Where to start with David Bowie?

After 2-3 months, I am well down the road to a very large collection, and my ranking would be as follows:

Ziggy Stardust
Station to Station
Heroes
Low
Aladdin Sane
Scary Monsters
Hunky Dory
Lodger

All of them are great, but for some reason I just haven't enjoyed Hunky Dory nearly as much as all of the others. I just got Lodger last week so I haven't really listened to yet.

I'm also new to Bowie's music.
As can be seen from the avatar, I'm an 80s guy, so the first cd I picked up was the Ryko "Scary Monsters and Super Creeps"-for the green plastic as much as anything else.
After hearing "Teenage Wildlife", I knew I had to hear more, so "Ziggy Stardust" was next on the list, due mainly to this year's 40th Anniversary edition. It sounds great.
"Aladdin Sane"(used-Ryko) for 'The Jean Genie' was next. I also have "Let's Dance" on cd. I had the album in the 80s but it's long gone.
 
My next Bowie purchases will be "Hunky Dory"(esp. for "Queen Bitch" and "Quicksand") and possibly "Station To Station-the deluxe edition".

DC2, that was a scarily prescient bump in light of yesterday's surprise album announcement!

I am unsure about his new set of songs. I'll have to wait and see.
