David Bowie has never been shy about acknowledging his influences, and since the boho decadence and sexual ambiguity of the Velvet Underground’s music had a major impact on Bowie’s work, it was only fitting that as Ziggy Stardust mania was reaching its peak, Bowie would offer Lou Reed some much needed help with his career, which was stuck in neutral after his first solo album came and went.
It was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson and was ranked number 194 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
