I was out of work when he passed away, so I was able to hear 6 music's

wake for him. I got to mostly hear many songs by him which I never did before

Hope this isn't trolling, but it taught me that I probably am not a fan even though some songs are excellent

I reckon if I was a child of the 70's, I'd have been a huge Roxy Music fan instead

In similar tones, when Prince passed away, 6 music did the same thing. After that day I realised what an immense guitarist he was
