Influential rocker Lou Reed, who would have turned 74 today, left behind five decades of groundbreaking music from his years as a solo artist to his earlier days as the heart of The Velvet Underground. His musical style influenced every genre from rock to punk to grunge. Here's Reed and The Velvet Underground with "Sweet Jane" from their 1972 album "Loaded."
Riding that Stutz Bearcat Jim,
Those were different times.
All the poets studied rules of verse,
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
