A decade after his death, David Bowieremains one of the most iconic performers of all time. The talented singer-songwriter’s music pushed boundaries, and his eccentric style and persona commanded attention. His impressive catalog of work often dealt with themes such as existentialism, culture and society, and love and romance. Beyond producing hit songs such as “Let Me Sleep Beside You” and “Sound and Vision,” Bowie was also an accomplished stage and screen actor. Bowie’s talent and innate artistic ability define what it means to be an artist. But even artists, especially the legendary ones like Bowie, still acknowledge the brilliance of other musicians. Case in point, the time Bowie declared that Neil Young was the one singer he felt was keeping rock n roll relevant.
