Yep their first, then third.
Then I don't really care
I like Loaded most, but I think WL/WH is the best objectively
& Nico
wl/wh
TVU&N > WL/WH = S/T > Loaded
This is objectively correct. Pop meets experimentation wins out over pure experimentation and pure pop, which are both equally good in their own ways. Loaded's execution wasn't as on point as WL/WH or S/T so it sits comfortably at the bottom but isn't bad by any means.
/thread
s/t > banana > sister ray: the album > squeeze > loaded with shit
White Light/White Heat and The Velvet Underground & Nico are on the same level for me. maybe i'm given to wl/wh a little more
TVU=TVU&N>WHWL>>>>>>Loaded
Laurie Anderson Big Science.
>>61847345
Lyrically, definitely their best. The Murdery Mystery sucks but there's som really transcendent stuff on it (I'm Set Free, Candy Says, etc.) . Debut album is still my favorite.
>>61847345
correct
How did Nico and the Velvet Underground even get together? were either them making noise before that album? it's both of their debuts.
>>61847610
Warhol was probably trying to boost her career.

Andy Warhol.
The Velvet Underground Live 1969

Lou Reed wrote basically all of their songs. Does he have any solo stuff worth listening too?

TVU were definitely recognized as canonical by 1987, though their stature has only grown since then

His solo stuff is pretty different but great in it's own way. Been digging his album New York lately.
The debut, but sister ray > anything on it. too bad the rest of WL/WH is 6/10
>>61848002

Came here to post this.
TVU VU and WL | WH
>>61848002
>too bad the rest of WL/WH is 6/10
why do plebs always say this? I guarantee if you think that then you don't like Sister Ray anywhere near as much as you think you do
>>61847404
i didn't read anything you said past the ranking because of all the tryhard words i skimmed over but i rank their albums the same way
>>61848002
you fucking pleb
loaded. and the bonus tracks from the boxset. and some cuts from the quine tapes.
>>61850702
>loaded is the best VU album
not even gonna tell you how shitty of an opinion that is to have
>>61848872
>>61848872
Not him but I agree, maybe 7/10 though
Sister Ray though is god tier. Being spun out on amphetamines and listening to sister ray is maybe a top 15 life moment. I've had a pretty sad life :/
>>61847316
has there ever been a more cool-looking band than them?
TVUN is more influential, WL/WH is more good. I pretend that s/t and Loaded don't exist.
Why TVU is always provoking fights, wherever it's mentioned?
>>61850785
Maybe if you've never listened to their music. But once you have and you look at them the cool just oozes out of the photo
>>61851228
Yeah. I mean, that's all that Warhol had? Generic hippie bullshit?
>>61851303
>The Velvet Underground
>Hippie
Pick one.
Debut and wl/wh are roughly equal, but I'd say debut
>>61851109
plebs too dumb to get it, the rest too cool to like it
>>61850785
sonic youth comes close
>>61851303
Not sure what you're saying. I'm saying they look pretty cool but once you've listened to them you just know how cool they are and you see it
>>61851376
I want to fuck Thurston's face
1) Velvet Underground and Nico
2) White Light/White Heat
3) Loaded
4) Velvet Underground
Why didn't anyone convince Sterling Morrison to join a band after The Velvets?
Think of all those years he could have been a studio guy or lead guitarist in a punk/new wave group. Instead he was what, a fucking school teacher or something?
>>61851453
Why didn't anyone convince John Morrison to join a band after The Doors? I guess it kinda works in the same way.
