I guess so. I know I'm a fan. Though truth be told I'm not as interested in him as I used to be. Recently I even found myself slightly disappointed when he showed as a guest vocalist on an album I was listening to that was exactly the type of album you'd expect him to show up on and he gave exactly the type of vocal performance you'd expect him to give.

That said, the man has released a lot of great stuff over the course of his career and in my mind that includes Peeping Tom. I'm surprised by all the hate on that one.
