Under no circumstances attempt a Lou Reed discography run! He’s got over twenty albums and most of them are shit. Stick to the major ones, you know the drill: Transformer, Berlin, Street Hassle, Blue Mask, New York, Metal Machine Music for a laff. Not that even all of those are actually good, mind you.

The UNCUT Ultimate Guide collecting his arrogant drug-addled ’70s interviews was much more entertaining than most of those 70s albums. What an asshole.
