Like with all great revelations, you always have a clear memory of when and where you had them. For me that was "Heroin" on a compilation a friend lent me. Never did heroin in my life (and can sadly predict I certainly never will), but his no-nonsense lyricism was compelling.

This was on the first Lou Reed solo album in the UK - my introduction to it.

Didn't mean to write "sadly", but "safely", in that previous post. :-/

@JohnRoux I was actually going to ask about that... Let's keep drugs like that to people who'll give us songs like that in return...

@Axol Love all it's incarnations... But this VU one was my introduction, so i still think it's the best...
