October 27th, Lou Reed died at the age of 71. He was the front man of The Velvet Underground. Amazing man, great musician. He was a legend, and he'll live on through the music.
His death is a loss. The Velvet Underground is one of my favourite bands, and the reason why punk music from the 1970s exists. Important part of my life, mostly because it has helped determine a lot of my tastes. To honour Lou Reed, I simply put on the album Loaded and basked in the great music that has shaped the musical world. And my life. It's a great album.
Here are my favourite Velvet Underground songs.
Farewell, Lou. Thank you for your voice, and your guitar.
