Another great artist that will always be remembered.

He was before his time which is why The Velvet Underground are considered a commercial failure. The world just wasn't ready for him. Then, in hindsight (ie when VU split up) people started going on about how great they were and how much of an influence they've been. Lou once remarked about how amazing music is in that the sound is transferred in to emotion which makes people want to dance and that nothing else makes people feel this way. He was a very profound thinker - not to mention very right! RIP Lou. It's just a shame you'll be remembered for only 2 songs in a music career which spanned decades.

I bet "Transformer" makes it's way back into the album chart again. At least I really hope so and perhaps a younger generation will discover this gem of an LP.

It's a cracking album, my favourite track on there is Goodnight Ladies...shows off his wit...

Sad news, but not entirely unexpected either.
