You'll hear enough 'Walk on the wild side' and 'Perfect Day' puns everywhere else, so here are some lesser known gems from the man.
Lou reed & Antony - 'Candy Says' live. Lou Reed discovered Antony and toured with him for a long time before Antony & The Johnsons broke. I love the way Lou looks at Antony at the end of this song. He's so moved by what just happened on that stage.

But this is all just trivia. The songs will remain.
