But for most, such recognition is secondary, at best. What really matters to them are catchy tunes, flashy lyrics, and the bucket-loads of money that come with a hit.
While Lou began his career composing catchy tunes at the hit-making Pickwick Records, his true passion was in creating art, music, poetry, and stories. Looking back over his entire oeuvre, we see that he remained true to his ideals. All along, he strived to create “intelligent” art, the type we find in good novels and films, not in most pop or rock music.
Of course, it was not always apparent that Lou was such an authentic artist. (Even to a die-hard fan like me.) Because he was working in the “popular” art from of rock music, he was generally viewed within the limits of the genre.
In retrospect, however, it’s very clear. His work was characterized by “the intelligence that once inhabited novels or films.”
of the original (as Lester Bangs said). Still, a few seconds’ listen will give you an idea of what Lou intended and accomplished.)
Lou Reed, .
Thanks for entering this week's #nowplaying!
Thanks you bro❤
How do you know every single lyric and the story behind it of the velvet, it drives me crazy
No, I'm still studying, learning, and researching the lyrics and the stories. And enjoying every minute of it.
I am so glad I ran into this post. Firstly, I absolutely agree with everything you stated in this post and secondly, I am inspired with Lou Reed more than anybody else in the work I am doing myself... I didn't think I would see such a post on Steemit, well done!
And it's great to have another true Lou fan reading these posts. Here's the Intro to this series ... https://steemit.com/writing/@majes.tytyty/lou-reed-anthology-of-memorable-lyrics-late-20th-century-early-21st-century

You are right, I did not like this music. But, it is unique and through it it has the right to be imprinted in history. Good luck to you.
At least I warned you, so I will not accept any complaints! :-)

I am already pretty familiar with the post-rock and drone genres, so this actually comes off as enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
I have heard it twice and really do not understand this song. Maybe because I'm not really passionate like you, I'm not knowledgeable about this genre.
..never had listen to these music before...interesting and it sounds creepy to me sir @majes.tytyty
Yes, it's beyond creepy.
And when people hear this music, most of them say "never listen to that music again!!"
It's quite obvious that you're an avid fan of Mr. Lou Reed sir @majes.tytyty. I can say that because you know a lot of things about him and it seems like you really like the type of music he does. Honestly, it's my first time hearing these kind of music and i find it was cool.
Well, Do your work with full passion, it will become your identity, it will give you recognization, money, anything you ever want in your life.
