Key Solo Albums
Transformer, 1972—Reed's second solo album, after a self-titled debut, was produced by David Bowie and Mott the Hoople's Mick Ronson. The first single, "Walk on the Wild Side," was Reed's first bona fide commercial hit.Berlin, 1973—A far gloomier affair than Transformer, Berlin contains themes of drug abuse, death and tragic romance, set to a blend of rock and orchestral sounds.
Metal Machine Music, 1975—In order to fulfill contractual ob'igations to RCA, his record company, Reed submitted Metal Machine Music, an hour and four minutes of squalling feedback and white noise. The album contained no actual songs, and has since been influential in the development of noise-rock bands, such as The Boredoms and Sonic Youth.
New Sensations, 1984—The pop-rock New Sensations may be the most mainstream-friendly of Reed's albums, featuring the infectious single "I Love You, Suzanne."
New York, 1989—A hit with critics and fans, New York represents Reed's first extended political statement, as well as a return to basic, blues-influenced rock structures. The work is a concept album concerning modern politics and the state of New York City.
