The Best Lou Reed Guitar Solos

Lou Reed rejected clean virtuosity for raw noise, feedback and droning repetition, and his guitar work with the Velvet Underground laid the groundwork for punk, noise rock and indie. His later records with Robert Quine and Mike Rathke showed a leaner, sharper side of his playing.
