| Depends on what you want, really. Almost all of Queen's albums are worth picking up, though the earlier ones tend to be better. Most people would probably recommend either Jazz, News of the World or A Night at the Opera--all are rock-solid albums, and each one features a few well-known songs that will make the album more accessible to the casual listener.
Oh, and regarding David Bowie--assuming your 'Best o' Bowie' experience hasn't soured you on him, I'd recommend Space Oddity and Hunky Dory, two of his earlier, better albums. __________________
