An album that really changed things for many musicians. Give it a whirl if you've not heard it. If you're not familiar, the album art was by Andy Warhol. He didn't produced the band as many people think - (he really wasn't hands-on)

Guitarist, singer Lou Reed left to become a solo artist and Bowie, who earlier tried (but failed) to be part of Warhol's retinue, was able to befriend and produce his Reed - producing classics like 'Walk on the Wild Side'
