Yeah Yeah I know, "best of " ... really, but why the hell not ... it's Lou. Side one is by far the better half of this set. It's got the Zimmy sounding
Wild Child,
I Love You, Bowie-esque,
Satellite Of Love (who's that singing in the background, listen closely), Rock composed masterpiece
How Do You Think Feels, fun oddity
New York Conversation, and last but not the least, Lou's biggest chart topper, I love watching the jock yuppies who have no idea what the song is about but sing it to girls in bars trying to get laid,
Walk On The Wild Side. The B-side is a punishing mix. It starts with heavy metal guitared covers of old Velvet tunes from Rock And Roll Animal which I always hated. The latter end of the album does get better, but not great with,
Sally Can't Dance, Punky B-side
Nowhere At All and poetic
Coney Island Baby. All in all the record is a great comprehensive of Reed's early solo career, his first three efforts were better than the rest, but anything is pretty good from our favorite Beat Poet musician.
