He was a great artist and his 1970s stuff was brilliant, innovative and exciting but after 1982 in my opinion he was past his sell by date. He did about two good singles and his last good album was Scary monsters before the abomination that was Let's dance.
And before everyone goes on about how that was his best seller . That is the point he became commercial with that before going back to and failing to be experimental with Tin machine.
Look at those paying respect to him everyone is talking about his Ziggy, Sane and Berlin years.
A legend whose legacy was pre 1982.

Modern Love and Let's Dance were great pop songs. They may have been a departure from what Bowie fans were used to and I believe he wasn't so keen on them himself but if another act who were popular at the time (e.g Duran Duran) had released them they would probably be considered amongst their best.
I've only really been into Bowie for the last couple of years but he his probably my favourite artist. Vast amount of great songs covering various genres and styles. A true musical legend.
