David Bowie - Hunky Dory (1971)

One of the most important albums released by David Bowie, helping to pave the way for 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars' released the year after, as well as his subsequent fame throughout the 1970s up to the Thin White Duke era.

Standout tracks include the opener 'Changes', 'Oh! You Pretty Things' and the mega successful 'Life On Mars'.

In addition, 'Andy Warhol', 'Kooks', 'Quicksand' and 'Fill Your Heart' compliment a mixture of Bowie's song-writing, from serious social commentary to more light-hearted humour.

'Major Tom' had gone (kind of) and now a new Bowie was emerging.
