His best selling single and though with not that many hits, widely considered in the '70s and afterward among the top 5 or 10 most influential Rock musicians. (Long Island descendant of Russian Jews. He said Rock was his god.)

Fuck the 70s, Lou was making history in 1967. The entire west coast couldn't even handle it.

Probably now the most influential artist of all time because even if they're not a direct influence it's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

The Beatles, VU, and Cage The Elephant are the only 3 bands I know where nearly everything they created is fantastic.
