    Berlin - Lou Reed

    and the all time classic Paris 1919 - John Cale

    I always thought Berlin was a case of the Emperors new clothes. With the Velvets, the music was always totally in synch with the lyrics.
    For me Berlin was all pomp and overblown production at odds with the sordid subject matter.
    I shouldn't really be smirking when he gets to the line "this is the room where she took the razor and cut her wrists that strange and fateful night". Great playing though.

    Share your love of Paris1919, although I still wince at that line about Enoch Powell in Graham Green. Hopefully not the views of the author.

    Anyhoo, my faves: -

    Aladdin Sane - Bowie
    For your Pleasure - Roxy Music
    Goats Head Soup - The Stones ( although generic filler had started to appear)
    Paris 1919- John Cale
    A Passion Play - Jethro Tull (I confess I hated it at the time but it has grown over the years)

    Band on the Run and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road I loved at the time but have not aged well I think

    Agree on the production on Berlin and some of the early VU versions are better in their stripped down sound but still a classic. And very different from nearly everything before or since

    The Enoch powell lyric mentions him being a falling star so don't think cale was supporting him.

    Now I'm a big fan of Tim Buckley myself, but that's a not great album, in my humble opinion, of course. Good to see him get a mention, though.

    Anyway, I said it before and damn if I'm going to say it again. The best album of 1973 was this:

    Oh, and as a little aside, Henry, I noticed you chose the first New York Dolls album on your list, which was produced by none other than Mr Todd Harry Rundgren.

    Funny enough when listening to A wizard I released why the mix on the NYD album is low. It is the same on A wizard
