I'm talking about among the people who will read books on Art and **** this tiny circle jerk, I mean, VU is as important as important as Oliver Wasow's "#146"

I mean plus I don't even like King Crimson and that's what's important

You should add it to your poseur guide that the progression of acceptable music taste maturation goes punk to jazz to King Crimson.

Lol boi this one performance changed the entire trajectory of popular music and culture. Before this there was The Beatles for the vast majority of people and maybe Hendrix. Then you have KC make their debut live and nobody knew what to make of it.

I like V.U. and a lot of Reed's solo stuff, but they weren't bringing classical or jazz influences into rock music. They were mostly covering The Beatles and The Doors and padding things out with repetitive grooves. Meanwhile, guys like Fripp were flipping over the entire chessboard of what people thought "real music" was capable of.

Maybe Lou Reed's voice just doesn't speak to him in a sensual way.
