Lou Reed
Comment:
You can't really speak of Lou Reed without mentioning the Velvet Underground any more than you can talk of Paul Simon without mentioning Art Garfunkel, though Reed's solo career now stretches to over 35 years, a pretty impressive number by any measure. His voice drips hip, not surprisingly, given that Reed has been on New York City's creative A-list since before Warhol learned that Campbell's soup wasn't just for eating. And he has continually challenged himself — not to mention his audiences — with a kaleidoscope of projects, from a double-CD set based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe to a contract-busting album of industrial noise ideal as background music for flensing whales. One constant in Reed's storied career is that you simply can't predict with any accuracy where he's going next, which keeps him not only interesting, but [i]vital[/i].
