Easily Moving Pictures. 4 Visions by Eskaton from 1981 is absolutely phenomenal as well, though.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Yes everyone forgot about that myself included. Love that album (as I do with most of her albums)

Moving Pictures for sure , but I do like Drama and Duke a lot as well. Eloy also made some very good albums in these years. Kate Bush - Never Forever is also a bit overlooked. Not a bad track in sight.

Discipline gets my vote, just ahead of Ceux du Dehors. Scary Monsters is one of my favourite Bowie albums and has some fantastic contributions from Fripp.

Other.
 
For 1980, I choose Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt), and for 1981, I choose Peter Hammill - Sitting Targets. From these two, I decline to choose.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

UZ's album is the only album I wasn't aware of back then in the list, and is clearly my choice

Discipline, Duke and Drama are still far behinf and TBH, I hated all three back then, because of what came before. Pictures was disappointing (long live Xanadu), but I didn't hate it.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
