Lou Reed - Egg Cream
Going back over his body of work I find that I like his live stuff way more than the studio. People have posted Perfect Day a few times but this version live is much better http://www.musicsense.org/album846485-Perfect-Night-Live-In-London.htm
Then, of course, there is side one of Rock and Roll Animal, which is perhaps my favorite 20 minutes of continuous music of all time. He wrote 'em but Steve Hunter owned 'em.

R.I.P. Lou Reed
The Velvet Underground's self titled album is so great. It's funny how bands even now try to emulate that sound. It's so raw/indie but at the same time pop that is layered in a dark atmosphere. One of those albums where if a song came on your shuffle you're not skipping it. Me and that album have a lot of history. Was so sad to hear Lou died today, like I don't even internet or something...

Man I love that album.
Was just reading Wikipedia's entry on Lou Reed
Great quote:
Quote:
The band's influence on rock, art rock and punk was memorably summed up by Brian Eno's observation that although the first Velvet Underground album may have sold only 30,000 copies in its first few years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band".

This is an early Velvet Underground recording. My favorite side of them.
