Really is the king dead! fuck man he was one of the greatest rock n rollers to ever live, this is one of the best albums ive ever heard, with Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on guitars its a masterpiece!
If you dont wanna listen to it all you should at least slide through to the 30 min mark for Rock and Roll! .. The 1st tune i ever learned using bar chords i was fucking buzzing! -

Not heard that one but I'll give it a listen after my Transformer vinyl's finished.
Still, 71. Not a bad innings considering... -

Scotty you should give it a spin after Transformer, right from the intro to Sweet Jane to the last note of Rock and Roll you will be nodding your head and strumming your belly {oooeerr!} and in the middle 2 of his classics Heroin and White light/White Heat, suppose he would have lasted longer without all the smack/coke/trannys and Warhol lol, but hey thats what made him what he was.
2 more masterpieces you should try if you havnt already
Scotty if you just listened to Transformer you will have heard Satallite of Love, listen to it on Lou Reed Live brilliant! -

L R L is totally brilliant, really hard to choose between that and Rock n Roll Animal, 2 amazing live albums, i know youve already posted Walk on the Wildside but have a listen to this, Wagner/Hunter on this album too, ive heard L R with different band line ups but this has gotta be by far the best, bass, drums, Hammond, everything tight, spot on, BRILLIANT! -

Is it just a problem im having or is anyone else who listens to the Lou Reed Live tracks here only getting half the sound? the others are all there but on LRL the 2nd lead guitar sounds like its trapped in the reverb, miles away, am i only getting 1 channel? or are you hearing the same as me? -

Oh what a perfect day, consumables gathered, dog walked, place to myself 'Rock n Roll Animal' on '11' first opportunity ive had to commemerate the death of one of the greatest!
When the smack begins to flow
Then i really dont care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
And i guess i just dont know, and i guess i just dont know. -

Lou Reed's 1973 album, Berlin. Possibly one of my favourite albums ever. Need to take time to listen to it, but is it worth it.... Fantastic stuff. -

BBC4 'Lou Reed Remembered' its just finished a few minutes ago, well worth a watch, its bound to be repeated in a day or two or it will be on iplayer.
Later tonight 11:30 John Cooper Clarke, gonna have a look at that too, I had a book of his poems in the 80s some of them were brilliant, one line has always stuck in my head, cant remember the name of the poem but the line was
'He cacks on your origionals
He pisses on your boots
He makes luv like a footballer
He dribbles before he shoots'
