Lulu

by Lou Reed & Metallica

Lulu cover art

Perhaps the most baffling collaboration in rock history, 'Lulu' features Lou Reed's spoken-word poetry over Metallica's chugging riffs. Based on the plays of Frank Wedekind, the album is abrasive, provocative, and often unintentionally hilarious. It was universally panned upon release but remains a fascinating artifact of artistic hubris.
