Ipod Questions from an old guy

[Keyser Soze]

bowie was influenced by the stones, the who, the beatles, dylan....and then in turn he influenced roxy music, the cure, talking heads, joy division, nine inch nails, U2, etc.... he's crossed into so many genres with ease and defies explanation. there are few artists that have been as experimentally successful (such as those he was influenced by), so if you want to say he's not on their level cause he's their descendent, fine, but he's proved to be just as dynamic.
