probably john cale for the moustache alone. lou reed did have the attitude and the words but his prickishness has left me in some doubt.

You know, I often hearken back to Songs for 'Drella. And man, the ones Cale provides vocals for are immense. But just listen to Lou's guitar! Listen to the guitar line on "Trouble With Classicists." Listen to the absolute genius of his guitar on "Forever Changed."
Forget the technical players. The only living guitarist that rivals Lou is Neil Young. And Neil has had even fewer solo zeniths on record as of late. True, Neil is the best live, there's not a whole lot of comparison there, but Lou is to be respected for his immeasurably expressive talent.

Nico. I like her voice. And her hair.

Glice · 09.23.2008, 04:06 PM

I'm going to go out on a limb and agree with Mr 2600. Mr Reed is a very deft player. I've a strong feeling he learnt leads from jazz saxophones, he's never one for a showy solo, but always good at meandering to-and-from. There are technically more gifted soloists, but few better melodically.

Didn't SY play on her solo record when she came out of obscurity.

I don't know, Lou Reed... or John Cale. I just love their records.

This Is Not Here · 09.23.2008, 06:54 PM

I worship at the altar of the Reedmeister, but I can't be doing with Cale no matter how hard I try.

The solo record in question is ''Life in Exile After Abdication'' ans SY play on it. She made more than one.

John Cale, no question. Then Nico. Then those other guys...... I love VU but they're a band I haven't done a lot of reading about them, but I really enjoyed the John Cale segments in The Rest Is Noise.

My brother went to see Lou Reed play a few years ago and told me he was wearing high top Nike's and leather pants. That douchey image is forever etched in my mind. Plus I detest his solo records. Walk On The Wild Side is one of the most annoying AOR songs in the history of the universe. Same with solo Iggy Pop - the guys in my band were raving about The Idiot or whatever - nope, can't do it.......

Torn Curtain · 07.17.2011, 10:37 AM

John Cale.

I love The idiot, and it was a huge influence on Ian Curtis (he even listened to it just before committing suicide apparently...)

Lou Reed for me
