This man is a legend. He fronted the Velvet Underground in the late 60's, which in terms of influence is right up there with the Beatles. Then in the 70's he started his solo career and released some of the greatest songs of all time. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYEC4TZsy-Y[/YOUTUBE]
YES!!!!!!!!!!! The velvet underground & nico (nice avater, btw =P) is one of my all time favourite albums. And Lou is bi, i think! i have a chance.... =D
Wasn't he cute when he was younger . Brilliant album, lyrically one of the rawest albums ever made, and without having to reduce himself to those *Oh woe me* stereotypes must bands today fit into.
I only got 1 album from Lou and I probably should get more. Its Lou Reed and John Cale's album Songs For Drella, which is a much more obscure album from my understanding. It's pretty damn good.
I've wanted to get that for a while actually. I'm sure lyrically and conceptually it's interesting, but how good is the music?
