Notes
  1. Bowie's biographers consider "Sound and Vision" the closest to a "conventional pop song" on Low.[1][2] Michael Gallucci of Ultimate Classic Rock describes it as a "traditional rock song" with "krautrock and electronic textures".[3] Other reviewers have noted the presence of soul and disco.[4][5][6]
