What about Berlin? I'd argue that it's Reed's best work

I've always struggled to connect with Reed's solo work. He just never released an album I particularly enjoy (great songs here and there, and some extremely interesting ideas), and certainly nothing I like anywhere near as much as both volumes of Broonzy's Live at Montmartre. So yeah, vote to Big Bill.

Did Big Bill have a bigger influence as far as solo work is concerned? Almost certainly. Still don't like it as much as Reed.
