I wasn't a huge fan or anything, but he influenced many of my favorite artists. It's always sad to lose a creative soul.
Rest in peace, Lou.

That is from Live MCMXCIII. This is the whole album
I think it is by far their best. They were at their peak as musicians and the live music is actually tighter and more coherent than the studio stuff from 25 or so years earlier. Give it a full listen. At one point Lou reveals himself to be a pompous twat when he introduces the band, I don't remember what song. With the sole exception of one side of Rock and Roll Animal I have always considered Cale's solo work to be far superior to Reed's and there was no reason for him to be so dismissive of Mo and Sterling.

Lou Reed was a horrid grumpy bastard of a man, no one should in any way conflate his personality with his talent. He was pompous as fuck, but he had many many moments of musical genius. He also had this, though, perhaps his worst song ever, I present to you, "Egg Cream":

Thanks for making this thread, man. 
I grew up listening to the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed stuff. Just the other day my dad texted me to put on a live concert of "Berlin" that was aired; a commercially unsuccessful album that he never played live until this particular show, which was performed in the past few years. We've been chatting how weird it is he died since we reconnected with his music together.
One of my best friends was a big Lou Reed fan, and unfortunately he died about a year ago. It's still difficult to listen to a lot of the music since we shared a lot of it together. We were also getting high a lot so it has that connotation to it. Anyway, RIP Lou Reed.
You guys posted fuckin awesome songs in this thread! A proper send-off. You're all awesome.
