Lou Reed solo vs Velvet Underground

It's just different music. Transformer is pop rock and The Velvets are nosie rock.

WL/WH is their best album though

Transformer's a great record, basically a Bowie/Ronno collab with Reed singing on it.

Transformer is only better than Loaded.

If you prefer transformer you might want to go back to their self titled (third album)

Noise rock vs pop rock
Try their self titled, its the album without John Cale so its way less experimental but just as good

>>72578573
Yes it is bad

>>72578573
It's more accessible than any of the Velvet Underground albums and you're just a pleb.

Transformer is still great though.

This.

Lou Reed's solo stuff is great, but he is very uneven, like his personality. He has tons of awful stuff, but where performs well he is unparallelled. VU is definitely superior to Transformer though.

Have you tried Coney Island Baby and Ecstacy yet?

Is Transformer his only good album. I listened to others but none have really rivaled Transformer. Coney Island Baby and New York were good, I guess.

Blue Mask is pretty good. So is Berlin, and I've got a soft spot for Sally Can't Dance

>>72581289
I mean the first verse of the most popular song on the ablum is about just that, I don't think this is hidden at all.

You'll get arguments for any of the first 4 VU albums being best. Personally I think WL/WH was their best with Cale, and TVU was their best without him. No doubt VU was better than Reed's solo stuff.

No. Transformer is the best thing he ever did.

No. Berlin is incredible.
