Essential Lou Reed
Love or hate him, Lou Reed was one of the most influential Rock artists of the 20th century. His work with the Velvets and Transformer may be the pinnacle. But the story doesn't end there. While he certainly had his ups and downs, he came back with a vengeance with New York. Yet his last few albums were criminally ignored or completely misunderstood. Twilight Reeling, Ecstasy and Lulu are all masterpieces. Ranked in order of personal preference. Click an album below to read a review
