Bowie IS awesome, he has consistently made interesting and varied albums. A very talented guy.
I agree.

I would've put Bowie in rock too (if I had to), but with albums like Earthling, you couldn't say he's strictly rock but bah to genres in general.
It's music. You like some, you don't like some. People should spend less time b!tching about what it should be labelled as and more time actually listening to it.

I should be glad to be so inclined.
What a waste! What a waste!
But I don't mind.
