All hail the Goblin King

I was really sad to hear about David Bowie's death.  I didn't know the guy personally, but he played a prominent role in my childhood (and has forever remained for me) as the Goblin King of the movie Labyrinth.  Reading some of the obituaries, I realize that I didn't really know much of his music.  I would like to--he seems to have been a real innovator, a sui generis force in the popular music world.
