Re: 5/13/15 The Velvet Underground
Probably "Venus in Furs" as for their experimental side; whereas "Pale Blue Eyes" is my favorite ballad of theirs. Very eclectic band.
Oh, and "Sweet Jane", of course. That one sounds almost like a Lou Reed solo song though. He definitely deserves a DRC thread of his own, as does the sadly quite underrated John Cale.

The Velvet Underground is one of my musical blind spots. How about I watch this thread and take notes?

Well I was going to say "Pale Blue Eyes", but since that's taken, how about "Andy's Chest"? Swoop, swoop. I think that's solo Lou but I don't care.
I also have a soft spot for the disjointed mess that is "Lady Godiva's Operation".

Re: 5/13/15 The Velvet Underground
I mean beyond the obviously great songs like Heroin and I'm Waiting for the Man, I've always found myself drawn to the softer sounding songs. The first Velvet Underground song I really connected with was Stephanie Says for how pretty and poignant it is. I also really love the songs with Nico, like All Tomorrow's Parties, I'll be your Mirror, and especially Femme Fatale.

Dangit okay fine, "Some Kinda Love"! Or the wacky ultra-disjointed mega-mess that is "The Murder Mystery"!Niveous wrote:Lou will get his own DRC.user wrote:how about "Andy's Chest"? Swoop, swoop. I think that's solo Lou but I don't care.
I wonder how many years it'll take till we run out of well-known bands, then dip into unknown ones (for which we have precedent, John Valby), then DRC threads go recursive, as in:

Re: 5/13/15 The Velvet Underground
Is Future Niveous some kind of collaboration between me and Future Boy, kind of like the spectacular Johnny Cashpoint-Future Boy collaboration album "A Maze of Death" but instead of being about the works of Philip K. Dick, it's about the works of George Orwell? I hope so because that sounds wonderful. Someone call FB and make that a thing.Generic wrote:What's your favorite Future Niveous song?

Re: 5/13/15 The Velvet Underground
the first cavedwellers recording ever was a cover of Sweet Jane. I love the VU version more than the classic Live Lou Reed version. Its just the best 4 chord bang out of a song ever.
Sweet Jane!
special nod to After Hours (also covered many times)
and for the super art-rock geek in me I must mention The Murder Mystery
mind you I have all of the Velvet Underground albums and I love them all!

Re: 5/13/15 The Velvet Underground
Another band I love too much to choose... "Black Angel's Death Song" is for sure one of the top. I love that weird sound... like sucking in air... Also, "Jesus". It's all too amazing. "Choose to choose".
