    I have every album.
    I have soft spots for
    1) Street Hassle
    2) Take No Prisoners
    3) New Sensations
    4) Lulu (massively underrated)

    Do comps count? If so , the double disc "NYC Man Lou Reed The Collection" gets my vote. A little bit of everything. Velvets to "Ecstasy "

    You should read producer Steve Katz’s autobiography. He describes the recording of the “Sally Can’t Dance” album as a nightmare.

    These days I'd say these are the Lou albums getting the most love from me.

    Transformer
    Songs for Drella
    Magic and Loss
    Lulu
    Ecstasy

    Roughly in descending order of most played.

    My favourite album covers are
    Lou Reed
    Transformer
    Coney Island Baby
    Rock n Roll Animal
    Lou Reed Live (especially the back cover photo which is brilliant)
    MMM
    Rock And Roll Heart (although pretty poor album in itself)
    Street Hassle

    I rather think the cover art went downhill from there.

    Yeah, after Steet Hassle the album art started getting pretty dull.

    This is about the worst:
