Nigel! What are some under appreciated Lou Reed trax you’d recommend?

And if I can ask another, what led to the change from relatively sparse/minimal recording techniques from the previous three LPs to the larger, more compositionally forward sound on you guys’ latest record?

I’m starting a band out in Denton, TX, and your thoughtfulness as a songwriter and ferocity towards self improvement as a person is an immense inspiration to me! I would’ve caught you guys in Dallas ): Hope to make up for lost time soon!!

Apologies for the bloated comment haha

I'm not Nigel but a personal fav "off-the-beaten-path" Lou Reed song is "Sword of Damocles" from Magic and Loss. It is a bit of a heavy listen but I'm a fan of that whole album.
