Subterraneans or Sound and Vision
Sound and Vision, second place is Subterraneans.
Either Subterraneans or Warszawa
op here, my favorite is Sound and Vision
DON'T YOU WONDER SOME TIMES......
Sound and Vision, plain and simple. That said both sides may as well be entirely different albums, so Subterraneans is tied.
Always Crashing In The Same Car

warszawa you plebs
David Bowie turned marketing into the essence of his art. All great phenomena of popular music, from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena (just like Coca Cola and Barbie before them); however, Bowie turned that into an art of its own. With Bowie the science of marketing becomes art; art and marketing become one. There were intellectuals who had proclaimed this theory in rebellious terms. Bowie was, in many ways, the heir, no matter how perverted, of Andy Warhol's pop art and of the underground culture of the 1960s. He adopted some of the most blaspheme issues and turned them upside down to make them precisely what they had been designed to fight: a commodity.
Bowie was a protagonist of his times, although a poor musician: to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Bowie embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music.

transcendent, and the transition into Art Decade is the best. I could never imagine being able to come up with either of those songs. I wonder how much of the songwriting is Eno or Bowie, they seem more like Eno pieces to me but I could be wrong
sound and vision is so overrated

Speed of life
Sound and Vision, sometimes the obvious answer is the correct answer.
Always Crashing in the Same Car is my personal favorite but Sound +Vision is probably the best
