Lou Reed, the too serious guy, the black angel, the inhabitant of the dark side, the noise feedback explorer, grumpy old man who could marry melody and cacophony, was the one, the only one, that could write Satellite Of Love. It would be extremely cheesy if not sang by Lou Reed. He could take risks with melody. He knew when it would be too much. That explains why we can't get tired of listening to
Transformer, the perfect album.
