David Bowie早期作品中极为成功的一张专辑《Hunky Dory》。David有些妩媚的嗓音和邪气的歌曲加上晦涩又有些放纵古怪的歌词融合成一种美妙的风格，独特的，只属于David自己的音乐，在这张专辑中发挥到了某种顶点，《Hunky Dory》是一张很有地下丝绒感觉的专辑，David把自己的嗓音发挥得随心所欲，音乐风格开始成熟。在这张专辑里他唱了曾给地下丝绒制作过最着名香蕉封面的波普大师Andy Warhol，歌曲的名字就叫做《Andy Warhol》——他在几十年之后扮演了这位一直很感兴趣的画家。还有给Bob Dylan的歌，以及向地下丝绒致敬的《Queen Bitch》。 　　这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第107位。 　　After the freakish hard rock of The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie returned to singer/songwriter territory on Hunky Dory. Not only did the album boast more folky songs ("Song for Bob Dylan," "The Bewlay Brothers"), but he again flirted with Anthony Newley-esque dancehall music ("Kooks," "Fill Your Heart"), seemingly leaving heavy metal behind. As a result, Hunky Dory is a kaleidoscopic array of pop styles, tied together only by Bowie's sense of vision: a sweeping, cinematic mélange of high and low art, ambiguous sexuality, kitsch, and class. Mick Ronson's guitar is pushed to the back, leaving Rick Wakeman's cabaret piano to dominate the sound of the album. The subdued support accentuates the depth of Bowie's material, whether it's the revamped Tin Pan Alley of "Changes," the Neil Young homage "Quicksand," the soaring "Life on Mars?," the rolling, vaguely homosexual anthem "Oh! You Pretty Things," or the dark acoustic rocker "Andy Warhol." On the surface, such a wide range of styles and sounds would make an album incoherent, but Bowie's improved songwriting and determined sense of style instead made Hunky Dory a touchstone for reinterpreting pop's traditions into fresh, postmodern pop music.
