Anything bearing his name seriously, if you are talking commercially? Transformer is a good starting point, produced by Bowie and ~Ronson. See Glam Rock thread, or Wiki LOU REED. Velvet stuff is great depends if you are 12 or 20 though.

As above ^^^^^
Try "Coney Island Baby" and his 80s classic "New York" which is pure quality.
If you're not familiar with The Velvet Underground, check them first.
Absolute genius.

Transformer is a brilliantly complete and diverse piece of work.
Rock and Roll Animal is great live album, much heavier - a proper good racket.

Probably Transformer is the best album to start with, Coney Island Baby is good, but he's also put out a lot of crap....specially the late 70s/early 80s stuff.
A couple of albums I'd reccomend are the New York Album and a more recently Set the Twighlight Reeling for later Reed stuff.
If your not put off by depressing music then you have to listen to Berlin Live at St Annes Warehous. Its not one to play at a party, but a brilliant, albeit harrowing listen.

Oh and "Songs for Drella" which he made with John Cale. A real beauty.
