Greatest Hits: Think It Over, Heavenly Arms

Lou Reed was the lead singer and songwriter for the band The Velvet Underground, and he went on to have a successful solo career that spanned more than five decades. Although the Velvet Underground did not achieve widespread commercial success during their time together, they are still regarded as one of the most important underground rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s. Reed left the Velvet Underground in 1970 and went on to release 20 solo albums. He did well in his second and third songs, but he had a few highs and lows throughout the show. Fresh Sensations and New York, two of his later albums, brought him back to life.
