elllipsis 1,441 Posted October 27, 2013 “Without Lou Reed, we wouldn’t have punk rock. We wouldn’t have The Sex Pistols, Black Flag, The Clash, Television, Dead Kennedys, or Devo. Without punk rock, we wouldn’t have post-punk. We wouldn’t have Joy Division, The Cure, The Smiths, This Heat, Talking Heads, Wire, Gang of Four, Nick Cave, The Feelies, or Swans. Without post-punk, we wouldn’t have alternative rock as it is today. We wouldn’t have Pixies, Radiohead, Nirvana, Pavement, R.E.M, The Replacements, Nine Inch Nails, Cocteau Twins, or Weezer. Without alternative rock, you wouldn’t have most indie rock as it is today. You wouldn’t have Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Pavement, The Strokes, Yo La Tengo, The Dismemberment Plan, Arctic Monkeys, Interpol, Deerhunter, or TV on the Radio. Without Lou Reed, we wouldn’t have noise rock. We wouldn’t have Sonic Youth, Big Black, The Jesus Lizard, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Fugazi, Boris, or Dinosaur Jr. Without noise rock, we wouldn’t have shoegaze. We wouldn’t have My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Slowdive, Galaxie 500, Flying Saucer Attack, or Have a Nice Life. This is the legacy Lou left behind.” Perfectly put.

trayertrash 7,210 Posted October 28, 2013 I'm not a fan of TVU, music just wasn't for me, but I know Lou inspired a lot of my favorite artist & I have a great deal of respect for him because of that. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intriguing Penguin 867 Posted October 28, 2013 So saddened by this. Lou Reed and the TVU use to be all I listened to for months. I loved him and TVU so much. He is such an inspiration. He is one of the best musician, song-writer, artist, poet, and even way more ever. He was so great. His music changed my life, he had such an influence on me. Hearing about his death has really saddened me. Rock n Roll music has lost one of its greatest. We wouldn't have so many artists that we love today, if it wasn't for him.

Hello Heaven 1,578 Posted October 29, 2013 Not only did he make some great music that will be remembered forever but he was also an inspiration to so many other legendary artists that wouldn't be who they are without him - including many of my own favourites. Gone but not forgotten, may he rest in peace. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
