Worst is Best Vol 1

For me, there are very few artists for whom the formula is this:

The worse their music is, the more I love it.

Lou Reed tops the list by a margin of infinity

I will prove this to you periodically

lets start with a track thats only marginally terrible, so that we have somewhere to go from there later.

After his "music to slit your wrists by, Vol 1" 1973 opus Berlin, RCA begged Lou to lighten up, literally. In 1974, He died his hair bleach blond and put out an R&B record, Sally Can't Dance. I think the logic was that his "doo doo doo" back-up singers worked to make Walk on the Wild Side a hit on Transformer two years earlier, so lets try again! The results are hilarious. Lou gets funky ala Robert Palmer!
