Lou Reed - Dead at 71
Brilliant musician, still recall a load of his songs with the likes of The Velvet Underground and Nico.
RIP Lou.

A truly great talent. For me, Transformer was one of the greatest albums of all time.

Not such a perfect day, then.
And Mentalist, if you like Transformer, then that explains everything about you. Most people with ears regard it as aural torture.

Disagree, I thought Transformer was brilliant. Walk on the Wild Side and Satellite of love? Aural torture? I think not.

Re: Lou Reed - Dead at 71
Lots of horses on that course.............
A truly great and influential album. Not my avatar choice though...........
[edit] Rolling Stone has Transformer at 194 in their all-time Top 500, with a few Velvet Underground albums higher up. Fair enough, but RS include Greatest Hits albums, live albums, etc, in their list, which is cheating a bit surely? NME had Transformer in their Top 10 a few years back, I seem to recall.

Re: Lou Reed - Dead at 71
What was that spoken song about the boy who posted himself to a girl in the mail and she stabbed him with a knife trying to cut open the package.
Or have I imagined that one?
