Six Feet Underground?

Let's face it, a 50 year career is a bit of a gold mine for puns.

Walk on the wild side is an absolute classic, a great writer and performer who was instrumental in the beginnings of punk.

I hated it when Comic Relief, or whoever it was, covered Perfect Day.  They fucking murdered it.  The original is, quite frankly, the sexiest song ever written.

RIP Lou.

Damn and bugger. I have been listening to a lot of Lou Reed recently - New York is a fantastic album.

Will wear a Velvet Underfround t-shirt to the pub tomorrow.

Transformer was one of the standout albums of its time, IMO

Fuck it!  Another of my music heroes gone.  There's not too many left now. RIP Lou.  You have left us with many great songs and riffs.

Sunday mornin', praise the dawnin'
It's just a restless feelin', by my side
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
It's just the wasted years so close behind

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all

Sunday mornin' and I'm fallin'
I've got a feelin', I don't want to know
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
(Early dawnin')
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all

Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'

Can't say I was a massive Lou Reed fan , as I didn't know much about him. But I did buy his greatest hits a good 15 years ago or so and absolutely loved it. Bought it for Perfect Day but the amount of quality tracks on there was an eye opener.

Candy Says, Venus in Furs, Satelitte of Love, Beginning to see the light, Pale Blue Eyes, Sunday Morning and of course Perfect day and WoTWS.

Respect to Lou, his music will live on.
