Yes he had a lot of decent songs for a long period of time, but I'll put it this way: no one ever asks for a David Bowie song or talks about him. I'm in my mid 30s, and I'm guessing people that are in their late 40s and in their 50s love this guy because he was huge when they were young, so nostalgia has a huge influence on them, just like it does with everyone.
My friends that are still 20-something made remarks about how he will be missed, yet they never talked about him or his music. That was my point.
