* SignatureSong: Well, this album contains indeed several of Reed's best-known songs, such as "Perfect Day", "Satellite of Love" and "Vicious", but Reed's biggest hit and overall most famous song is "Walk on the Wild Side".

* ToughActToFollow: The album's success became an albatross around Reed over the years, with his later works being continuously caught in the shadow of ''Transformer'' (this being after he had already spent a great deal of time trying to pull himself out of the shadow of the Music/VelvetUnderground). The creation of the ever-infamous ''Music/MetalMachineMusic'' in 1976 is even speculated to be at least partly the culmination of Reed's frustrations with the sheer weight ''Transformer'' held over the rest of his career.

** With Mick Ronson on board, you know the album is full of these. "Vicious" and "Hangin' 'Round" are just a couple.
** The bass line on "Walk on the Wild Side".

* HilariousInHindsight: From a radio promo: "In the midst of all the make believe madness, the mock depravity, and the pseudo-sexual anarchists, Lou Reed is the ''real thing''." That's right, ''Transformer'' - the one produced by Music/DavidBowie.
