The most popular album by the most popular artist in LTT's Twelve column, Bowie's Hunky Dory (Virgin, 1971), was the shape-shifting artist's first masterpiece but it wasn't a hit in the U.S. Looking like a silent-film actress on the cover, Bowie kicks off with the glittery ''Changes,'' croons through the Broadway-ready ''Life on Mars,'' and pays tribute to Warhol, Dylan, and the Velvet Underground. In the end, however, he sounded only like himself.
