Lou Reed

Great, truly great artist both with the Velvet (the first two albums, but the self-titled one is fantastic too) and as a solo artist (New York, Berlin, The Blue Mask, Coney Island Baby, and above all Transformer). Sure, he’s made some crap too, but in a fifty-year career, that's to be expected. The album with Metallica isn’t good, but for me, it’s not the biggest piece of garbage in history as many have said… Narcotic live? I don’t know many seventy-year-olds putting on energetic and lively rock concerts :)
