He's made some great music in his time.

Rest in Peace, Lou.

The last album that Lou Reed liked was Yeezus. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about that.

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't recall the name.  Can someone give me a clue as to he was?

Got that, but what about his music?  What was his "era" and who were some of his contemporaries?

He didn't have many "contemporaries". You might say that he was an "underground" musician.

I guess I don't recognize him or his contemporary.  What was his genre?

Another Rock Legend has passed. It's too bad.

Also, nice job misleading BushOklahoma for making this thread lighter.

I always take an opportunity to post this hilarious/ridiculous interview with Australian journalists in early 70s

"Drella" was the nickname of Andy Warhol which Reed, Cale and other weird musicians used in a place called The Factory. Warhol's "gender" is imprecise (some people think that artist didn't have one). As for the "genre" Reed played "rock music".
