That's a bold and silly statement. Lou Reed is a genius, somewhat comparable to Bob Dylan in greatness. While Reed's solo work is absolutely superior to the VU I wouldn't say ''nobody cares'' about them. They certainly had their moments but fall short from Reed's later work. Just listen to works of art like Transformer, Berlin, Coney Island Baby and New York. There's probably tons more but from what I heard these stand out the most. He's an amazing artist, certainly one of the ''legends''.
