Lou Reed 1942-2013
I know that many others have posted lists of favorite Lou Reed songs this past week since his passing last Sunday at the age of 71, but since I’ve been listening to his solo discography and to the records he made with The Velvet Underground obsessively since then, I thought I’d share some of my favorite from said solo discography. Since he has such a large discography, I tried to stuck to one song per album.
Lou Reed – “I Can’t Stand It” (from Lou Reed)
Lou Reed – “Satellite of Love” (from Transformer)
Lou Reed – “Men of Good Fortune” (from Berlin)
Lou Reed – “She’s My Best Friend” (from Coney Island Baby)
Lou Reed – “Street Hassle” (from Street Hassle)
Lou Reed – “The Day John Kennedy Died” (from The Blue Mask)
Lou Reed – “Last Great American Whale” (from New York)
Lou Reed – “Rock Minuet” (from Ecstasy)
Lou Reed – “Candy Says” (from Animal Serenade)
Lou Reed – “Move Your Heart” (from Hudson Wind Meditations)
