RIP Lou! I'll never forget the first time I heard Sweet Jane.

All of the 'new' guys, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the like, owe Lou a debt of gratitude.  Rest well, Mr. Reed.....

The only artist to make my personal best (ROCK 'N' ROLL ANIMAL) and worst (METAL MACHINE MUSIC) albums list.  Talk a walk on the wild side - not a bad way to live. RIP Lou.

Strangely shocking. RIP

I read 'From the Velvets to the Voidoids' a few years ago.  It's a great book and really put Lou Reed's development as a musician in perspective.  I had never known that he graduated with honors from Syracuse but I guess that just goes to show that those waters ran deep.
 
RIP, Lou.

RIP a different kind of artist who will be missed. Tom pegged it, a lot of folks can thank him for their music.
