Lou Reed was an American musician, singer, and songwriter who co-founded The Velvet Underground before pursuing an influential solo career. His work explored transgressive themes including drug use, sexuality, and urban decay with unflinching honesty. 'Transformer,' produced by David Bowie, yielded his biggest hit 'Walk on the Wild Side.' Albums like 'Berlin,' 'Coney Island Baby,' and 'New York' showcased his literary songwriting and musical evolution. Reed's influence on punk, alternative rock, and art rock was immense—The Velvet Underground's limited initial audience famously all started bands. His abrasive personality and uncompromising artistic vision made him both difficult and admired. Reed continued recording and performing until his death in 2013, remaining relevant across five decades of rock music.
