Re: Oooh, quadraphonic vinyl from Lou Reed

Aargh! Metal Machine Music, ranked by some as the 2nd worse album of all time, by others a mere 4th!

Rolling Stone described it as "a two-disc set consisting of nothing more than ear-wrecking electronic sludge, guaranteed to clear any room of humans in record time."

Some people love it though and I notice Mr. Reed has released this to coincide with his European tour, with the Metal Machine Trio...

I can't wait!!!

Sheer lunacy, but not quite in the same league as The Blue Mask.
