Metal Machine Music is an incredible and important record. Hard to listen to, but it shows Q is irrelevant and obvious and ignorant. When was the last time anyone looked at Q?
I wonder how many people who claim this really do listen to it on a regular basis.
Lou Reed has admitted it's crap, a huge "fuck you" meant to burn off the last committment of his contract at the time. I know defending it and talking about how genius it is is supposed to be a sign of how hip a music fan you are, but sometimes you just have to say, "Yep, it's shit."
All I listen to is Reed's Machine Gun Music....followed by this:

Trans is way underrated. From what I understand, Young was partly inspired by Devo (I think they both worked on the soundtrack to some movie--seperately) and the machines that his family used to communicate with one of his sons.
He was later sued by David Geffen for not making a Neil Young record. Despite the fact that he was Neil Young.

Well I prefer my robotorawk to come only from the vocoder lips of Tommy Shaw ala
I agree to a point that maybe its a bit overlooked-but no one is going to convince me that that album is not in the same class as lou Reed's above mentioned fiasco-by the way the album he was sued over was this:

He was sued over that album, but it was really the combination of both records that inspired the lawsuit -- two discs in a row uncharacteristic of his earlier work. I'm not sure how anyone could claim someone who'd already released such a varying range of music had a particular sound, though...
I recorded an episode of ALTV (Weird Al's periodic video show on MTV back in the day) in 1986, I believe, and one of the videos Al played was "Wonderin'" by Neil Young & the Shocking Pink. Amazingly funny video...

In the biography "Shakey," as well as other sources, Neil has explained Trans - to recap -= he had taken some time off from touring to devote his life to his 2nd sonwho is plagued with numerous neurological and muscular disorderswhich leave him quadriplegic and Neil helped design a special wheelchair and that Transformer Man is really about him and he never had told anyone at the time because he didn't want his kid in the limelight and hedidn'tdo the album to sell it, but as therapy for him as wellas his boy.
Buy the book - it 'splains it so much better than me - and it's, to use one of Neil's words, "Innaresting."
