Greater or lesser than the sum of his phases: Newley phase, Dylan phase, glam phase, Soul phase, Berlin phase, mainstream 80's, etc.,
Only as good as his collaborators: Eno, Visconti, Slick, Ronson, Alomar, Soupy Sales' kids, etc.,
Just an opportunist constantly jumping trends or a leader setting trends?
a pop star in rock star clothing?
Discuss.
All of the above which is what made him a genius.
