Damn right.

By the way, Who is your favorite band?

 

I like...

Venus in Furs
Run Run Run
Heroin
European Son
White Light/White Heat
I Heard Her Call My Name
Sister Ray
Candy Says
Beginning to See the Light
Ocean
Stephanie Says
Foggy Notion
I Can't Stand It

 

like em, but i don't know if enough to go out and buy albums.....i do like Lonesome Cowboy Bill and the cover of What goes on though...as well as a few others...

 

Lonesome Cowboy Bill is one of the Velvets' worst songs.

 

really...geex, didn't see that oe coming...jk

 

heroin!!

 

Well, it's just... blah. Most of Loaded is like that, though.

 

There is a pretty cool live version of 'Heroin' on Lou Reed's 1973 live album Rock N Roll Animal. It's polished, yet still unsettling and dark. Very cool.

 

Lou Reed is a God.

 

"Venus In Furs". I will do anything for that song.

 

the vu = best band of all time

if we're gonna do a list...

1. heroin
2. sister ray
3. i'm waiting for the man
4. lady godiva's operation
5. what goes on
6. run run run
7. white light/white heat
8. venus in furs
9. hey mr.rain
10. one of these days

 

I got White Light/White Heat yesterday

 

Awesome. That's one of my all-time favorite albums and my favorite Velvet Underground album. Nice choice.

 

I love it

 

I'd hit it.

 

Fuck that, The Velvet Underground and Nico is by far the best album.

Just look at the bloody tracks on it:

Sunday Morning
I'm Waiting for the Man
Femme Fatale
Venus in Furs
Run Run Run
All Tomorrow's Parties
Heroin
There She Goes Again
I'll Be Your Mirror
The Black Angel's Death Song
European Sun....

All of those songs (Maybe minus the last two are amazing)

While White Light/ White Heat

Is a 6 song CD... All are rather good...but....common!

 

That was uncalled for... even for me. Haha...
