Probably like most of you, I grew up with his music. He took things way out of the mainstream, but had great music. RIP David Bowie

Can't say that I was ever a fan. He was just too out there for my taste. Regardless, he was one of a kind.

I liked some of his stuff, but the way he kept reinventing himself was frustrating. Also, the far-out androgynous persona was disturbing.
Still, one of a kind. He will be missed...

Sad news, I like others wasnt a huge fan but you couldnt escape his music especially in the 80s and be impressed by, if by nothing else, his staying power. RIP David.

Have not heard anything I like. As a young man he had an eye patch. Whats up with that?

He had some tunes. I liked his avant garde artistic style very much.

You look at a song like China Girl, which is just way out there. The last thing you would think would work in that song is a blues guitar solo from some virtually unknown guitarslinger from Texas.
