In all the music discussions that go on around here, I never see mention of Lou Reed. I believe he is deserving of legendary status. I've long been familiar with the Velvet Underground stuff and many of Lou's "best of" solo songs, but recently I've been filling out my vinyl collection with some of his classic early solo albums... Transformer (of course), Berlin, Rock and Roll Heart, Blue Mask Legendary Hearts, Sally Can't Dance, Street Hassle. They hold up very well as albums.
That is all, thank you. Lou Reed.
