"Bowie means a crap load to me for... no real specific reason apart from he made incredible songs. Such is the sheer mass of stuff he did there is always something for whatever mood i'm in. I'm pretty sure that he has done a track that ANYONE can enjoy no matter what their taste is or what their background is, for that he is as close to being a genius as a musician can come."

Final Thoughts:

"I basically have David Bowie to thank for expanding my horizons musically. If it weren't for him I simply wouldn't be as hooked on music as I am these days. His back catalogue is also one of such diversity, which more often than not yielded truly remarkable results, something you simply can't say for a lot of singer/songwriters down the years" Bulldog

"Anyone who refuses a Knighthood gains kudos points but the main reason is his willingness to always expand his musical horizons whether he fails or not and have the warmth and intelligence to back his choices up. Vocally he is not the best but for a near 40 year career he is still one of the best British artists to grace our shores" Jackhammer

"Mr Bowie is my all-time favorite artist. He grabbed me in the early 70's, shook the crap outta me and changed my world forever. A true genius, extraordinarily prolific, and one of the most influential musical artists of all time. Enough said." onedrummer
