Rolling Stone reports that musician Lou Reed passed away earlier today in New York City at the age of 71 after receiving a liver transplant earlier this year.

Introduced to us several years ago by our brother Adam Humphreys, Mr. Reed has been one of our most appreciated artists ever since.

Here are some of our favourite Lou Reed songs, enjoy:

The list goes on...

It has always astounded us how few views some of Lou's tunes have on Youtube (less than 11,000 in the case of Women, for example). We expect this will change for the legendary artist posthumously.

RIP New York City Man, oh how we loved ya.
