everyone, naples is greek for adoring the smell of male genitalia.
also he or she is trying to get you to only listen to the highest rated songs, its ok to listen to the whole album multiple times and come to your own conclusions.

Like Naples? 
I'm sorry. had to 
But. Yeah.
Stop all the shenanigans 
Now, on topic,
Transformer is a great album, but not Lou's best of course. Perfect Day, I'm So Free & Vicious are my favourite songs

You're counting his Velvet Underground albums here? This, and the very boring Magic & Loss, are the only solo albums I've heard by him, and I'm not familiar with his rest.

Part of that was referring to the VU, but in my opinion Berlin far exceeds Transformer.
Go listen to Berlin It'll be worth your time. #30 on my chart, and in comparison, Transformer doesn't make the top 100. It's a darker side of Lou, but it's really well done
As for Magic & Loss, I've never heard it  , so I don't have any opinions on that.
