I hate to say this but I think he was the most overrated musician other than possibly The Who and John Lennon.
Honestly, and without enmity, I didn't expect you to like his music. We are all different I think the music you like is shite. And yet we can agree on many other things. Thus is life.
Who do you rate, Grendel?
I've always tried to get it but never have.
I think the problem probably is he never really had a fixed genre. In the 70's it was all imagery and darkness and the 80's some "let's dance" disco and an unfortunate duet or two.
I liked some song he did - five years? - well I liked a cover version anyway.
Richard Ashcroft!I'm not far behind you trenchy.
Started at 6-30 though.
Currently going the Verve and Richard Ashcroft back catalogue,after seeing him again last night, Velvet Morning being the Standout track of the night.
Probably not the gamechanger Bowie was but what a balladeer and songsmith.
Agreed.Richard Ashcroft!
Where was he playing lastnight?
Seen him at IoW festival last year. Great set! For me, him and Noèl Gallagher were the last of a kind. Great songwriters (like you say, not up there with Lennon or Bowie)! After that the likes of Boyzone, Steps and the like slightly ruined music!!

Yet you get all your culture by following the City!I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't get music. I mean lots of it largely ok but not much gets me going. If I never heard another song I don't think I'd be that bothered and yet for most I know I think they'd believe that was awful and would give up footie first. I'm a boring git who dislikes opera ballet theatre and cinema too. I said this at work and people looked at me like I was mental and disbelieving of it. The hype over Bowie and others I find quite strange but each to their own. In fact the same with celebrity too I simply don't understand the hype and have never watched Towie or Chelsea or gGeordie shore in fact come to think of it other popular shows like hollyoaks or star trek or doctor who, never seen star wars or harry potter not played on xbox or nintendo.
Is there anyone else luke me out there or am I the one whose proper fecked up?
Oh and not read a novel in the 25 years since I left school either
Fuck off you twat!! How the fuck can you say Bowie, The Who and John Lennon were overrated? Fuck me! I'd hate to have your taste in music!I hate to say this but I think he was the most overrated musician other than possibly The Who and John Lennon.

It could have been worse, he could have mentioned Grendels predilection for Marillion.Bloody hell mate. Bit heavy that!
Nah! Can't stand heavy music!Bloody hell mate. Bit heavy that!

Never could understand what people saw in David Bowie or why he was ever classed as a superstar.OK, so I've been on the red wine since 6:00. But how fucking brilliant was Bowie? You're supposed to be able to know which is your favourite album and yet I don't even know which Bowie album is the best.<snip>
Has anyone else, possibly other than Lennon, contributed so much to modern music?
