The Human Chameleon. The Coolest Human in the Planet Earth. The Biggest Cult in Popular Culture. The Man Who took Progress in a Race at progressing and beat it. Dan ratusan jenis pujian lain buat Bowie dari gw. Satu dari 3 cowo yang yang bisa bikin man-crush side di sisi gw keluar. Everything about this guy is the epitome of cool and badass in the same line! Gak perduli gaya rambut kaya apa, makeup or not, ngerokok ato kaga, ni orang tetep aja keren!

As a Musician, gak ada yang bisa nandingin Kejeniusan, keberanian, kegilaan, ketidakjelasan, ke-prentious-an(in a good way), keindahan karya2nya Bowie. Satu2nya musisi yang bisa pas banget berada di era kejayaannya musik back in 60-70an, dan juga di era modern yang penuh banget ama dillema and kontroversi. Bikin list 20 lagu terbaik dia tuh susah. BANGET. I can easily put 50 best if I want to, but gw bisa mabok sendiri, but gw rasa 20 aja cukup. Why? Because gw males.

Bowie gak gampang buat dimasukin, apalagi buat mentality pendengar musik jaman sekarang yang full of bullshit. But once elu bisa masuk ke dalem Bowie’s Nirvana, lu bakalan bikin rumah deh di dalemnya. Lengkap ama kolam renang, garasi, or swing set!

12. Fame, from Young Americans, 1975.

11. Let’s Dance, from Let’s Dance, 1983.(Bullshit banget dengerin lagu ini pertama kalinya kaki lu gak gerak. That end solo by Stevie Ray Vaughan(Yep, that STEVIE) is awesome)

1. Heroes, from Heroes, 1977. (To Tell you guys the truth, kaya kebanyakan anak 90’s gw tau lagu ini dari the Wallflowers first. It is a good song, and then I heard the Bowie version, and then I thought, WOW, the wallflowers guts bener2 gede banget berani bawain lagu ini, because gak akan ada deh musisi lain yang sepede dan sekarismatik cara bowie nyanyiin Heroes. This is probably one of the greatest thing that human kind ever produce in terms of arts).
