Reed began a solo career in 1972. He had a hit the following year with
"Walk on the Wild Side", but this level of
mainstream commercial success was not repeated.[4] Reed was known for his
distinctive deadpan voice and poetic lyrics, and for pioneering and coining the
term ostrich guitar tuning.[5] Rolling Stone magazine voted Reed's 1989 New York album the 19th best of the 1980s.[6] In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time included two albums by
Reed as a solo artist: Transformer and Berlin.[7]»
And a couple of words on
albums selected:
«Transformer
is the second studio album by American rock musician Lou Reed. Produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, the album was released
in November 1972In 1997, Transformer
was named the 44th greatest album of all time in a 'Music of the Millennium[12] poll conducted in the
United Kingdom by HMV Group, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic
FM. Transformer is also ranked number 55
on NME 's list of "Greatest Albums of All Time."
In 2003, the album was ranked number 194 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[13] It is also on Q Magazine's
list of "100 Greatest Albums Ever".»

«Berlin is a 1973 album by Lou Reed, his third solo album and
the follow-up to Transformer. In 2003, the album was
ranked number 344 on Rolling
Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, though the magazine had
called the album a "disaster" 30 years prior.[1] Musically, Berlin differs greatly from the bulk
of Reed's work, due to the use of heavy orchestral arrangements, horns, and top
session musicians. Instrumentally, Reed himself only contributes acoustic
guitar. The
album is a tragic rock opera about a doomed couple,
Jim and Caroline, and addresses themes of drug
use, prostitution, depression, domestic
violence, and suicide."The Kids"
tells of Caroline having her children taken from her by the authorities, and
features the sounds of children crying for their mother. The UK group the Waterboys takes its name from a line in this song.[2]»

«New York is the fifteenth solo album by Lou Reed, released early in 1989.[1] A universal critical
success, it is widely considered one of his best solo albums. While the defunct
Velvet Underground were at the peak of their popularity at the time, Reed's
solo career had hit several lows during the 1980s, at least since his Blue Mask. However the widespread
popularity of New York
reignited his career to the extent that he could revive the Velvet Underground
for an aborted world tour.
The album is highly regarded for the strength and force of its lyrical
content, but at the time drew criticism for its perceived pedestrian,
"truck driver," musicianship. Reed countered that he required simple
music so that it would not distract from his frank lyrics. The single
"Dirty Blvd." was a #1 hit on the newly created Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for four weeks. Velvet
Underground drummer Maureen Tucker played on two tracks.»
