Didn't realise he was only 71... he seemed really old when I was 16!

 

[Hill Wimp]

Thats really sad, i admit i had thought he had passed already.

I forgive him for Metal Machine Music, the guy put some good rock and roll out there...

He was the best rugby union pl... oh, wrong fella.
Sad , RIP Mr Reed. Can't say I was ever a huge fan, but I note your influence.

Not such a Perfect Day?

A sad loss, although his health had been poor. When you look at his influence, there are few people who leave such a legacy

Very sad - although after the first two VU albums his creativity took an awful dive (from a very great height).

RIP Lou, hugely influential.

Another icon of my teenage years.
RIP Lou

I was listening to a few Lou songs a couple of weeks or so ago. RIP Lou.

RIP Lou, hugely influential.

100% in agreement, in particular his contribution to the Velvet Underground.

I spent 1977 driving a van full of house plants around the freeways of Los Angeles, listening to FM radio. There's something about that song that just demands you spark one up and let the van do the thinking

the thing about Reed was - he wrote great tunes.

We had each table at our wedding as an album that meant something to us. One table was Transformer. Lou Reed was one of many things that Mrs D bought to our relationship and for that I am grateful
