Bowie got as big as he was because of labels pushing him down a captive audience&#x27;s throats.  Was he good?  Sure.  But there were many other really good artists who never got much attention because the only place to hear music during Bowie&#x27;s era was on the radio or in a record store.  &quot;This generation&quot; has wider tastes and a broader selection than any before it.  That they can&#x27;t be defined by a single sound or genre is a good thing.
