For as much as I like to deride the excess of 80s rock, I listened to The Eliminator after watching a documentary on them for no good reason. I really enjoyed it as pure fun.

billy gibbon's solos just do it for me. i cant help but get turned on by the overly bluesy stuff like clapton, krieger, page, etc. im starting to think gibbons is as good as any one of those. i actually like the bass players voice more on 'tush', but honestly i could listen to gibbons solo on top of a tight groove for hours. the rhythm section is super tight, too.

the whole of the moon ranks near the top for me of songs that use so many different instruments (horns, violins etc)

Having said that, I totally get why it wouldn't be one's cup of tea. There are so many phases of Bowie it makes sense that some work well for some and not others. That's kind of his brilliance.

Bowie's hard because he has such distinct phases to his career. While not a perfect breakdown I would clump them as;
Early years (David Bowie to The Man Who Sold The World) - Finding his way, mostly acoustic but all over the map.
Mick Ronson/Ziggy Stardust years and Plastic Soul years (Hunky Dory to Diamond Dogs and Young Americans) - Ziggy and glam rock, guitars galore.
Station To Station and Berlin Trilogy and Scary Monsters (Station To Station to Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)) - His best years. Avant garde at times and essential.
Pop years and Black Tie (Lets Dance to Never Let Me Down and Black Tie White Noise) - Some hits but not my cup of tea.
Latter years (Outside to Blackstar) - An amazing run of albums to close his career.
I think Bowie is one of the best live artists. My best suggestions is to go through his live albums. The bolded are my favourites.
