Lou Reed

Huge dickhead, indisputable artist for what he did with the Velvet Underground (the first two especially, I mean, Heroin diocan), undeniable. More uneven as a solo artist, but even so he produced albums like "Berlin," "Rock'n Roll Animal," "New York," and "Transformer." I can overlook some less successful albums and a couple of colossal screw-ups recently. Lurid.
