The voice of reason.
Absolutely.
Technically speaking I would say Cale is more of the musically talented.
But Lou Reed is a genuine artist - he has vision and creativity. To charge him with being a charlatan is blind ignorance; he clearly has dedication to his own artistic vision and integrity.
Both great. Both genuine and both two of the most influencial and important artists spanning the last 5 decades.
