13 - The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico


VELVET UNDERGROUND AND NICO
Sunday morning/I'm Waiting For The Man/Femme Fatale/Venus In Furs/Run Run Run/All Tomorrows Parties/Heroin/There She Goes Again/I'll Be Your Mirror/The Black Angels Death Song/European Son

Horrible feedback, poor production, incessant droning melodies and worrying subject matter. A fantastic album! A voyeuristic trawl through the underworld of drug use, sexual deviancy and prostitution set to chaotic and abrasive music; but music that perfectly reflects the world in the lyrics. This should be here purely for the influence it has had (though ignored on release) over the last 40 years, but it is here as the prime example of an art form extremely hard to get right and a genuine original. You MUST have this album!
