Albums First Released in 1972
Glam rock became more visible in 1972, while singer-songwriters, soul musicians and progressive bands refined the album as a complete statement. Major releases from 1972 include The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie, Harvest by Neil Young, Pink Moon by Nick Drake and Can't Buy a Thrill by Steely Dan.
1972 pairs theatrical records with unusually spare ones. Ziggy Stardust created a character and world, while Pink Moon reduced music to voice and guitar; Harvest and Can't Buy a Thrill found different routes into mainstream listening.

Our Pick of the Year: Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Pink Moon reduces Nick Drake's music to voice, acoustic guitar and one brief piano overdub. The 11 songs last less than half an hour, but their unusual tunings and precise phrasing reward close listening. The album sold little during Drake's lifetime and later became the clearest entry point to his small catalogue.
