Drums & Wires thru English Settlement is my favorite period - there's a bevy of great b-sides in there too - but a lot of people cut their teeth on Skylarking, and it is a pretty great record . .
I'd have a hard time parsing out the very best songs, but Legendary Hearts and Magic and Loss as whole records would be in my top 5 or so . . . no songs on the list of either, but then of course how do you narrow Lou Reed down to 10 songs - a noble task indeed
Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) is one of the best hits records ever, and neatly collects all those great early Jagger-Richards songs (minus most of the covers) - I know greatest hits records don't usually qualify, but BHHTAGG would make my top five, and Flowers would be in my top ten.
death grips . . good one! robyn is a pretty generous sort . finished "shaky" a bit ago - neil young pretty m uch refused to listen to ANYTHING, though he did lit a little bit of nirvana in. maybe the musician-types i tend to be drawn to were big fanboy geeks first, and that comes out in their music
