If I got 6 desert island discs and they all had to be Lou Reed (without including VU), I'd be pretty fodaing pissed. But if it came down to it, I'd say Transformer, Berlin, Ecstasy, New York, American Poet and ... probably RnR Animal, but not for sure.
I used to be very keen on
Ecstasy as well. But a funny thing happened in that I saw a live performance of Lou at the Monteraux Jazz Festival performing mostly material from said album and it was dull and lifeless. Kinda sullied my appreciation for the album, but I still like a lot of tracks.
And I meant six
LR picks. I'd never make it on a desert island with just Lou to listen to--I'd become way too paranoid within the first hour...
