VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO "velvet underground & nico" cd,1967.
guess this debut set from VU is one of those supposed 'landmark' albums in rock history like PF's "dark side",Pistols "bollocks", Beatles "sgt.peppers" etc etc...\
personally i dont see it, yeh its good, but not that great IMO....
pretty hard to describe VU or Lou Reed in general but they were original with their sound and lyrics back in the day describing the seedy side of life...
probably my favourite Reed album after "new york" and love the vocals on the non Reed tracks here...im assuming they are by Nico, whoever that is?
