Biography
Lou Reed was a Brooklyn singer, guitarist and songwriter who led *The Velvet Underground*, rock's most influential cult band. His solo career peaked commercially with 'Transformer' (1972) and 'Walk on the Wild Side', while 'Berlin' (1973) and 'Metal Machine Music' (1975) tested his audience's limits. He died in 2013, a foundational figure for punk and alternative music. His writing, frank about drugs, sex and street life, was later canonised by critics; he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, with the band in 1996 and as a solo artist in 2015.
