This is my favorite David Bowie's album, I think it's the best in his long career. Andy Warhol is simply fantastic, other highlights are: Life on Mars? and Song for Bob Dylan.

Produced by Ken Scott along with David Bowie, and recorded at Trident Studios in 1971, Hunky Dory is in my opinion, among his first albums, certainly the one where he sings better, it feel clearly the progress made by his voice than the previous albums. Hunky Dory was a great success and it's the album that made him known to the general public. It contains some of his most beautiful songs ever written, 'Changes',' Oh! You Pretty Things', 'Life On Mars?' and the innovative 'Andy Warhol'. It's one of his most successful album of all time and the musicians who play with him are at their best, especially Rick Wakeman's piano adds to this work a little more. Ultimately, a great album, really valuable.
