Hunky Dory

Reminded me of Gene Ween a little

Some of the greatest songs ever recorded but the whole piece is ultimately let down by a couple of awful ones. It's David Bowie though so you have to forgive the experiments don't you?

Few duds but still a great listen. 8/10

One of the best albums of all time

Not bad, smooth Bowie

Obviously a great album, with great vocals and a lot of classics on it! I really enjoyed it :)

Don't @ me

Generally brilliant

A big change after The man who sold the world, this one trades the harder edge for the catchier tunes. Contains my favourite Bowie tune: Queen Bitch

Very good album, obvi!

excellent david bowie. favorited

The highs on this are very high. Life on Mars, Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, Queen Bitch. The rest is decent but not that memorable. 4/5

Some great songs but not a great album.

An undeniable classic. Always love listening to this.

Jak sam tytul wskazuje bardzo klawy albumik, czwarty w dorobku Bowiego i chyba albumik ktory zapewnil mu komercyjno artystyczny sukces, bo mimo tego ze juz space oddity osiagnelo wysokie pozycje listowe, ale nastepny album nie byl juz takim sukcesem ze wzgledu na swoje dosc surowe brzmienie, natomiast hunky dory powrocil do dosc popowo folkowego stylu w jakim zaczynal, o wyjatkowosci tej plyty swiadczy tez to, ze wiekszosc kawalkow zostala skomponowana na pianinie, a nie na gitarce jak w poprzednich pracach, wiec nadaje mu unikalnego cieplego klimatu, jako ze jest to trzeci albumim bowiowy na liscie, to o samym artyscie nie ma co pisac, co by juz nie bylo napisane, sporo utworow jest bezposrednio lub posrednio skierowana do swoich idoli, wiec warholowy song sie znadzie, welvetowy, czy tez dylanowy, album mozna podzielic na dwie czesci, pierwsza hity i bangiery ktore prawie kazdy slyszal chocby w radio, natomiast druga bardziej personalna, jak wspominalem glownie o idolach, chyba cala pierwsza czesc mam juz na plejce, to nic nie dodaje, ale jako ze jest to jeden z moich ulubionych bowiowych albumikow, to raczej calosciowo sluchany, wokale jeszcze niezdarte zyciem rokowym, pianinko o ktorym juz wspominalem i unikatowy klimat, nie czesto sie spotyka albumiki wygrane tak zarowno arytysycznie jak i komercyjnie

Plenty of classic songs but other Bowie albums I like better

Absolutely slaps start to finish. Andy Warhol is the best Bowie song ever written. Fight me if you disagree.

One of my favourite Bowie lps

This was an easy 5 for me. Been a Bowie stan for awhile now, and "Queen Bitch" is one of my all time favorite Bowie songs. Plus we got "Changes" and "Life on Mars," so come on we gotta give it up for this record. A lot of interesting subject matter on this one too. The tributes to Andy Warhol and Bobby D were cool to see. Also love hearing Bowie espousing occult teachings and getting freaky on "Quicksand." An all over good time album for me.

fun listening

Album qui m’a laissé d’une indifférence. Évidement, j’étais déçu que ce soit cet album la de Bowie, malgré que c’est pas fini ! Je l’évite, rien de particulier Je lévite ch-ch-changes

an oldie but a goodie. its amazing. Changes to Oh! You Pretty Things is a classic 1-2 punch. Life on Mars. Kooks. Andy Wahol. You cannot hide from the hits!

ch ch ch ch chaaaaanges. Pretty good but also very kinda strange

Is there Life On MAAAAAAAAAAARS

Great.

this is crazy, I was listening to this on the way to work this morning! perfect album, gets me choked up

bowie est devenu un top parce q'il en était un au début

some songs are ok

All I have to say is Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things and Life on Mars. It doesn't get much better than this. Bowie is a genius, and this is one of his best.

some real bops throughout and just an enjoyable listen all around

Not my favorite Bowie album, but pretty good.

C'était très soft, je pense que Bowie peut faire mieux. Mais j'ai quand même bien aimé ch ch ch changeeeeeees

Enjoyed but not world rocking

really enjoyed this - never been a bowie listener, but this is great. The style really changes song to song, but it all feels very BOWIE. I especially loves life on mars. Joyful, weird, fun.

Changes is a fantastic song. It's the platonic ideal of what an opening song should be on an album (The only one better is probably "Vicious" off of Lou Reed's Transformer, which Bowie produced a year later). It's full of charm and wit and transgression. It's Bowie on full charm, bombastic and triumphant. This album really could be Bowie's greatest hits for good reason. From the highs and majesty of "Life on Mars?" To the almost wailing, weird, mechanical "Andy Warhol" it is timeless. Like dream you never wish to wake from.

Experimental in a good way, fun piano based rock!

Meh

Si es David Bowie pero no por eso se le va a dejar de revisar.

ближе к 4, 2 часть альбо больше понравилась но простовато слишком

Ett mästerverk. En klassiker. En personlig favorit.

Changes, Oh pretty things and Life on Mars are great. Surprised that I liked Andy Warhol (nice acoustic guitar scales). The rest all sounded very similar, except for Bewlay Brothers - must have had some weird 'tea' when writing that one

amazing album, one of Bowie's best. period.

will always love life on mars

I thought this was good... Bowie's softer side. Not in love with it. If I am painfully honest, That 70's Show kind of ruined "Changes" for me, because they would often use it for melodrama.

Nice songs a few hits i didn't know. Some i have. Changes is a strong open.

Just an incredible record. A landmark album.

Still known to me as the album with Life on mars. Fill your Heart, Andy warhol, and Bewlay Brothers were surprise hits though. Bowie is still best however

cinco veces cinco

Classic Bowie! Lots of songs I'd never heard before, so it's good to listen to it in album form. I can hear the early stylings of future Bowie songs in a lot of these tracks (Queen Bitch = Suffragette City; Life on Mars?>Ziggy Stardust Album, etc.) Highlights: -Changes -Life on Mars? -Queen Bitch

Not the best Bowie album but it is a great transition from the 'folk-y' Bowie sound into the 'Ziggy Stardust' era. A great tribute to america in the 70's and a couple great influencers of the time(Dylan and Warhol). Overall a good listen.

weird

in his prime - top album

1st Bowie Album I've ever listened to.

It’s a shame about kooks

Not my usual Bowie choice. Changes/Life on Mars are classic. Oh! You Pretty Things has a solid melody and catchy hook. Eight Line Poem a bit slow for my tastes. Kooks realising how many classical instruments are used on this album. It’s a bit hippie dippie for me. Quicksand also quite slow but beautiful instrumental. Fill Your Heart not feeling this one. Andy Warhol similar vibe. Song For Bob Dylan same. Queen Bitch is solid. A bit of sass to liven up the album. The Bewlay Brothers back to slow. Love Bowie, but most tracks lack an element of funkiness that I prefer in his later works.

masterpiece. Enjoyed the obvious hits but one that stood out, lyrically, was Quicksand.

I mean, Bowie, right?

Some good hits, Bowie is fun.

Life on Mars?

For a long time this was my favorite Bowie album until I got swept up into the mythology of the Berlin Trilogy. I will say though that this may be the most enjoyable Bowie album and the most light hearted. He's definitely vibing on some Velvet Underground here.

Another Bowie album I had only heard bits and pieces of. Changes and Life on Mars are great, ofc. Kooks reminds me of the Beach Boys or something, pop harmonies etc. It does fall off a little bit towards the end for me, but overall pretty good.

It's David Bowie so it's gotta be good. Most of this album is simply good, but there are two songs here that I would say are my favourite songs of his: Changes and Life On Mars. While the album is a 4/5 those two songs are 6/5.

classic Bowie, including some of my favourite hits - C

Classic Bowie. Would recommend to anyone who is not acquainted with his music.

Holy shit! This is the first time I've honestly listened to this album in it's entirety. Awesome album, familiar with maybe 3 songs but that changed today. Fucking Killer Album! RIP Mr. Bowie

So much range, he's got it all. Plenty of obvious hits but Looks is my highlight

Changes is by David Bowie?!

Great album. A couple of old favorites and some new music that was great to hear. Bowie was such a great artist.

CH-CH-CHANGESSSS

i always appreciate some Bowie

false

This was in fact, Hunky Dory.

it's a five NEXT

Not really listened to a lot of Bowie, this should be interesting. You forget what a classic, and how pervasive Bowie was. Even though I'm not a particular fan, I still recognised a lot of those songs. Good album, enjoyed it, but probably wouldn't pull it out specifically to listen to again.

Great album. Will definitely keep on playlist. Besides the obvious classics some beautiful melodies - especially like Bewlay Brothers. Then there’s Fill your Heart which is wacky. Feel the album would make a great musical. Jen

An incredible album that speaks for the time it was made

Kuten Bowiella yleensäkin, hittibiisit ovat aivan timanttia. Kokonaisuutena en oikein saanut otetta tästä levystä, ja suuri osa biiseistä oli aika keskinkertaisia. Toisaalta jos levyn kappaleista melkein puolet on ikivihreitä hittejä niin vaikea antaa alle nelosta.

There's nothing wrong with kooks!

David Bowie has a unique sound all to his own and this album is a perfect encapsulation of that

Lot of pianos backing the tracks in the beginning. Less heavy in the drums.

Pure Bowie !

4.0

solid sound, changes is an absolute jam

who doesn't love to wrap themselves up in a nice Bowie album? Changes, life on Mars, what delight.

Could clearly hear the different instruments, particularly piano. Bowie’s voice is fruity and impossible to mistake. I knew all the songs even though I didn’t recognize the names of all of them.

Ok, some aged well some not so much

Side 1 is so good. Probably timeless songs. It does fall off on side 2 but still best Bowie album.

Chunky Tory: let the bodies pile high

Good Bowie album. Front loaded with hits, but enjoyed most of it. Not sure I'm that keen on the chugging acoustic guitar that goes through a lot of it, but otherwise liked the songs, arrangements, production and instrumentation.

I liked this more than I thought I would. Thank you David Bowie

Wow, some classic hits, but loved the other tracks, still a little wierd but with a more folk background it was less jarring. Loved it!!

Yes David yes

Starting off strong.

Not really a bowie guy

Goddamn, I love me some Bowie. This one's a treat from start to finish. Stuff like Changes, Life on Mars? Andy Warhol, and Song for Bob Dylan. Great album, would rec.

Very good.

2 of the greatest songs ever, and some other pretty great songs too (Oh! You pretty things, Kooks, Quicksand, Queen Bitch). Probably Bowie’s 4th/5th best.

Changes. Life on mars. Good songs.

Arguably Bowie's best album.

One of my favorite Bowie albums to date. Something about it is especially touching compared to later albumbs. It's tender and understated but also powerful. Bowie's undeniable talent comes through with a strength and softness like a velvet hammer. SO good.

Melodisk klaver-baseret poprock, klassisk Bowie

Ziggy Stardust before he became Ziggy Stardust. Inventive, creative, and a joy to listen to. Best track: Life On Mars?

Aoife said it's good

Legendary

Theatrical in a way that only Bowie could really do. Favorite tracks: "Life on Mars?", "Queen Bitch"

CH CH CH CH

1971. Key Songs: Changes, Life on Mars

this wasn't a bad album but this was TWO BOWIE ALBUMS IN A ROW and like the fourth overall so far... I've had enough of Bowie now thanks dickhead author. 2/5 just because the sheer amount of Bowie in this list is starting to annoy me.

Good one. Not my preferred bowie but I digress

Okay
