Tomorrow it will be the second anniversary of the album release and on Wednesday it will be the second anniversary of David Bowie's death so I can't think of a more perfect timing to rank the tracks of…
David Bowie's "★ [Blackstar]" (2016)
Tracklisting:
01 | ★
02 | 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore
03 | Lazarus
04 | Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)
05 | Girl Loves Me
06 | Dollar Days
07 | I Can't Give Everything Away
Next week we could check the shape of Jazz that came at the end of the 1950s…

Welcome to Rank the Tracks, letmeintomyzone!
But maybe you forgot to include "'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore" on your list.
By the way, letmeintomyzone, Rockdelux published lists of the best comic books of the year on their end-of-year specials from 1999 and a list of the best comic books of the 2000s. Are you interested in these lists or are you looking only for all-time lists? In case you're interested I can send them to you (but in February-March, I'm too busy right now).

Outside of "Dollar Days" every track is great, in my opinion.

I'd say outside of "Girl Loves Me" every track is great. And "Girl Loves Me" is still quite good.

On the second anniversary of Bowie's death I just want to thank him for his final album, his "parting gift" in Tony Visconti's words. R.I.P.

Might give the album a listen again tonight, it's been a good few months since I last played it. Can't believe 2 years has passed since his death.

A really difficult album to rank. Too much hard souvenirs.
Great:

This album contains, maybe, as many remarkable songs as “Hunky Dory” and is as consistent as “Low”. I think it may boost Bowie ahead of Dylan in the artist list.
I consider this album as epic, well produced and unique as Born to Run, and that says a lot.
