Favourite Velvet Underground album
 

I've always been a big fan of their self titled (third) album.

The velvet underground and Nico should be Peel slowly and see.

I accedently(grammarpolice omfg) took white light/white heat which is good but Peel slowly and see is better.

this proved to be more difficult than imagined.

Peel slowly and see wasn't the title of the album, but an instruction on the early copies which had a removable banana (it revealed a flesh coloured banana beneath). The record was always called Velvet Underground & Nico and sometimes referred to as the banana LP.

white light/white heat for me. its a fuckin classic from begining to end

White Light baby

White Light!

White Heat!

aaaaahhh don't you know you'll stain the carpet!

there is no competition in this poll. white light.

the third/// at least recently. WL/WH was tops until I really appreciated the beauty scattered on the third one.

But I really really dig their fourth MGM album... There's a site that has instructions for making an album that was suppossed to come out before they made loaded on atlantic. It's made of tracks from VU and Another View and is pretty wicked.

there's the site for the lost album

white light white heat

i voted squeeze because i only have vu&n so far.

If you listen to sister ray on a pair of good headphones you can almost feel the tension that was going on during the recording of it.Amazing.

White Light. If only just for the song ''The Gift''.......

i love that story. i mailed it to my mom.

who's the velvet underground?

do you mean velvet revolver?

it's also now the title of the Box Set that was put out not to recently. (Pell Slowly...)

I recently played that song for some friends of mine and they were disenchanted at the beginning but when they started to listen to the story accompanied by the murky rythyms, they ended up liking it.

I felt good about myself.

box set - 1995

I've always liked Lou Reed's version of 'Ocean'(as bad as that first solo album is) until i heard the original Velvet underground version of it.Blinding!

white light/white heat... but the VU & Nico and the self-titled are really not far behind...

White Light.

though VU and Nico is a classic.

The only way to go......if I had to pick then I'd say self titled.

I haven't heard the s/t, but I gotta go with the majority from the other three. WL/WH is flawless. I keep picking up the s/t and putting it down. I'll buy it one of these days, if it's the last thing I do...

I've only heard The VU & Nico and Loaded. Out of those two, I pick Loaded. A percet pop album.

white whatever
 

right.apparently lou and john simply kept pumping the volumes of their instruments over and over to "get over" each other's sound,sorta "love/hate" thing.

white light/white heat is the one I play most by far

Self titled is my favorite.

the first and White Light... are nearly equal in importance to me, and if the poll let me, I'd have picked both. I gave the nod to White Light becuz of Sister Ray...

They are all really close. I chose White Light/White Heat though. There is no denying the magic of the Gift. White Light/White Heat seems to be the most out there to me, even though it is less noisy than Peel. I think there is something special about it in my mind. Velvet Underground and Peel Slowly and See are right up there. Loaded is good but I don't like it as much.

Ya that was talked about in the documentary. I listened to it after, and the organ part they mentioned is hilarious. It completely drowns out Lou's voice.

loaded does it for me

"the gift" from white light is a great song to jam on instrumentally, i might add.

you know, there's an organ in the attic. i don't know if it works, but i should try and drag that down here. or make someone else do it while i sit on my ass and drink beer.

i enjoy the s/t the most. Its nice, soft and relaxing. Candy says is my favorite song by VU.

love 'em all (except Sqeeze...that one deserves the haha)

the 1st the most

Yea it is. SO much so that the song's music is one channel and the cale in the other... so if you want you can turn the balance all the way left (or right) and jus thear the band jam. This also works on murder mystery... one side lou composed and the other was sterling. Cool lil trick.

gee, that's a real newsflash

excuse my sarcasm

i got my organ for twenty dollars. i love it. hard as hell to get home though.

i think i will go with VU&Nico. i haven't heard WL/WH or VU yet though.
