Actually, you are much gentler than I would be on this topic. I've always found his whole schtick to be among the most annoying in pop-culture. He makes Morrisey seem well adjusted on the self-pity scale, and at least Morrisey doesn't act like he should be scary in his self-loathing patheticness.
I'll bite that there are parts of his music which would work if it weren't for the personality, but the problem is - it's always there. What's more, even at his best he has a way of genericizing his sound to the point that it can be applied like a formula by anyone. Which is truly the worst part, because on top of all the awful sound-alikes, he's gone and "produced" both Bowie and Numan into sounding like second rate NIN wanna-bes.
