Description

Hunky Dory is widely regarded as one of David Bowie's finest albums and a cornerstone of early 1970s rock music. Originally released in 1971, the album features classic tracks including "Changes", "Life On Mars?", "Oh! You Pretty Things" and "Kooks". Blending art rock, folk rock and piano-driven pop, the album marked a major creative breakthrough for Bowie and laid the foundations for the success that would follow with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
