#DavidBowie – Hunky Dory (1971). “Turn and face the strange,” Bowie sings in “Changes.” It describes Bowie’s jump into anthemic pop while taking a quantum leap in music Hunky Dory came to represent. It’s hard to find any other set of songs as consistently spun as “Changes,” “Oh! You Pretty Things,” “Life on Mars” and “Quicksand.” The rest of the LP moves from the poetics of “Eight Line Poem” to the thorniness of “Queen Bitch” without a wasted syllable or note. #GreatRockAlbums #GreatAlbums1970s
