If you discount Doug Yule's release 'Squeeze' under the VU moniker [most people do], are they the most perfect rock band ever? they released 4 perfect and diverse albums, with a further release of fantastic live recordings (What Goes On is by far my favourite), plus the 80s release of late material between White Light/White Heat and Loaded... Faultless. |

The most influencial, it seems, for sure! |
||||||||

i still haven't fully immersed myself in all of their albums yet, but i've really really enjoyed listening to VU and Nico for the last 6 months or so... i can't believe it took me so long to take the time. and of course, White Light/White Heat is excellent. |

vu and nico, white light/white heat - fantastic albums. loaded - mm, not really. no thanks. it's got sweet jane on it, which is a great song. not into this album otherwise. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
never been on slsk might just check it out |
||||||||
|
|

|
Oh my, you passsed by Oh! Sweet Nuthin' which to me is the best song on the album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll check it out again soon. haven't listened in a while... :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah they're great, as most of the world already acknowledges, but thanks for reminding us that you like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're welcome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
They are probably one of my favorite groups. |

Lady Godiva's Operation is something i'll never get bored of i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right - that is the best tune on the record. thanks for pointing it out. :) but still, the best songs on loaded pale in comparison to their earlier records. if i wanted to hear the beatles, that's what i'd play. but i can't stand the beatles. |
||||||||

i don't know... i have the "banana" album with Nico; i like a few songs (Venus In Furs...), a few others annoy/irritate me (Femme Fatale...), and i find the rest "ok" but not groundbreaking, a bit boring even. now i've heard it's an acquired taste... so i'll give that some other listens. |

Years have passed and I think I appreciate Loaded, self-titled and even VU more than Nico and White/Light. Smarter songwriting and a nice timeless quality, not as dated. But it was still a flawless run. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but you're also really big into the beatles, right? i think my tastes are totally different. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's nothing I appreciate more than a smartly crafted pop song, so naturally I prefer stuff like Sunday Morning and Rock and Roll over The Gift. But I go apeshit for everything they did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YEs, that's right uzim, the velvet underground weren't groundbreaking... jeez. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's just how i feel about it so far, my mind may change you know. (and even if not... is it such a big deal for you?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They really quite an important band in music history, i think that is the point Paul was making. I think you have to acknowledge that. Maybe... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rock and Roll is my favorite one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think that they rreleased 4 perrfect albums to be honest. |

ART SCHOOL WANK! |

Better than economics school wank. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think one of the points of the velvet underground was that they could seemlessly fuse arty experimentalism with pure rock and roll - but you evidently are more the expert. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a song on the new oasis album that sounds exactly like VU's 'waiting for the man', such a rip off. but yeah, the vu are legends. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
love this music. really dense escapism. it uncovers the dirtier parts of myself. |
