Hunky Dory is a quintessential album. It is possibly the most nearly perfect album I have ever heard. I didn't listen through it until my twenties, and all I could think was "how can it be that I have never heard this before?" It is hard for me to imagine anyone ever improving on Hunky Dory.
My son expressed an interest last year, at 17, in hearing more classic rock and pop. One day in the car I put on Hunky Dory. After about half an hour he said something like, "I've never heard any of these songs but every single one of these is incredible." Yup.
