"Lou Reed was a pioneer for countless bands who didn't worry about their next hit single. Reed, who died Sunday at age 71, radically challenged rock's founding promise of good times and public celebration. As leader of the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist, he was the father of indie rock, and an ancestor of punk, New Wave and the alternative rock movements of the 1970s, '80s and beyond. He influenced generations of musicians from David Bowie and R.E.M. to Talking Heads and Sonic Youth." linkWas never a huge fan, but there's no denying his influence and his contributions to rock music. He'll be missed. |

That sucks. Dude helped define a lot of sounds. Not a fan, but I respect what he did.
