Point taken, but he's been given an obscene amount of record company backing to indulge his musical whims. Radiohead aside, can you think of any near-current EMI signing (or any other label's, come to that) that has been granted such a level of "artistic" carte blanche?
Personally I think he's wasted every opportunity to make a decent record*.
(*Apart from 'Strong'. I have to confess to hearing that the other day and quite liking it - not realising it was actually him! OMG...what have I just admitted to?)
