The man practically ruled a whole decade and spawned a bunch of children in multiple genres. There's only two other dudes like this (in rock).

It's still one of his more relevant songs. /mu/ and /tv/ still bitch about the very same things.

Well, you don't matter in particular. Just generally speaking. It's a problem that hasn't been resolved. Just like some stuff Bob said.

i actually like The Next Day a lot more than blackstar, its the rare instance where 40 years later an artist manages to capture their old sound and spirit and yet still elevate it with modernity
>the next day
>valentines day
>dancing out in space
>dirty boys
and those are just my favorites I couldn't remember if it was boss of me or id rather be high that I really like because I kinda mix up most of the middle of the LP

admittedly Blackstar is more cutting edge though
