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":

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.

Also, you've inspired me to put on my Rock n' Roll Animal vinyl.

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.
