I would like to clarify, I meant in terms of the music. Seems everyone is in agreement he was great at what he did.

For me personally, TVU are one of my favourite bands, and when I decided to expand my musical taste (two years ago), they, with The Clash also, were the ones who got me into Rock music. Class band.

Once I bought MMM at the local Goodwill and played it right away, it was an experience. A lot of Industrial, Post Punk, Noise, and a lot of other works owe a hell of a lot to what was unleashed through that work. A lot of people can say what they will about it, but so what. I'm also convinced that it was one hell of a way to end a contract - not with an over-reaching (but usually still interesting) album guaranteed to sell little and generate oohs and aahs from the critics, not with a half baked thrown together contract filler, but with one mighty slab of noise that had one of the finest endings of all time (serious opinion!). Also, MMM was also a great example of how he did things his way with a work that people still talk about.

My opinion for the comment on Lulu, (posted by I think bob), it's clear that he was very proud of it by reading a lot of his reactions to questions about the criticisms. It got a reaction not by being a half baked LCD throwaway, but by being an interesting experiment between Reed and Metallica that challenged a lot of it's listeners. OK, so it was a disappointment to many, but it did have it's fans.

His weeks will always beat our years!

I love the end of that.

As for the immediate future, Lou has no plans, but will take life as it comes.
That is a pretty great way to view life instead of trying to keep up with other people's standards of what you should do in life and where you should be at certain points in your life.

This surely has to be one of the first garage rock songs ever made right?

Lou was so ahead of his time.

My eyes sting a little every time I talk about it, I'm not the deepest VU/Lou Reed fan, but he really did great things as an artist, more than just about everyone from his generation, and he did it well.
