The 1971 album contains a wealth of fantastic songs including “Changes” (No.41 UK ’74, No.66 US ’72), the whimsical “Oh You Pretty Things”, and the enigmatic ballad “Life On Mars” (No.3 UK ’73) alongside “Andy Warhol” and “Quicksand”. Through the years the album has become a true classic.
“Hunky Dory introduced a kinder, gentler David Bowie after two heavy albums laden with mythological imagery and pleasant dreadnot that this album doesn’t also include heavy doses of the latter…Hunky Dory swings wildly between Bowie’s otherworldly preoccupations and scenes of domestic tranquility that serve to humanize and groundif just for a short timean artist searching for his next move. ” – analogplanet, Music 10/11, Sound 7/11
