If he were overrated then all his albums would get sycophantic rave reviews. As it is, much of his recent work has had fair, but often critical appraisal.
He is highly regarded by the more discerning. And that's very important. Somebody once referred to the record producer Pete Waterman as a genius - So I'll have to say David Bowie clearly isn't in that category. Thank fuck.
Personally, I think David Bowie is fantastic. I see it as a privilege to have walked the same planet at the same time as such a person. That's all that matters, to me. And it should be to everyone else, IMO.
I would dearly love to see him perform live once more.
