I've been listening to a few songs from The Velvet Underground and his album Transformer and, I've got to say, that he is one of the most laid-back icons in the music business. But what makes him so cool and respectable?

Lou Reed comes off as a total pretentious, hipster, douche. That said, Transformer is a phenomenal album and I definitely do enjoy his vocals. This was an easy vote for me. David Bowie's influence on Transformer is what does it for me.

He wears sunglasses, Andy Warhol was around his band, his album Metal Machine Music exemplifies the modern doesn't-give-a-fuck-attitude, which is extremely popular today, he did (still does maybe, I don't know) drugs. He's cool in many ways.

I almost forgot about Warhol, 😲 his presense was what brought Velvet Underground to the status it has today, specifically talking about VU&N.

I respect him a lot but I don't dig his voice, except on Rock N Roll and Sweet Nuthin'. Never liked Transformer too.

I'm not 100% positive but I don't think Lou does the vocals on Oh Sweet Nuthin'.
Edit: Actually i'm probably wrong.
Edit 2: aha! I was right! Doug Yule does the vocals on that one.

The coolness is a side effect from the heroin

ehh, probably 😐 , but I thought heroin would ruin somebody's life instead of adding something to the coolness factor - while having a somewhat creative endeavour in music - but apparently not him according to the quote.
