 #5 of nearly 1000... June 10, 1999
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have decided to write reviews for my top 10 CD's. I have a CD collection approaching 1000, and obviously I am an avid music fan (I call my tastes post-neo-modern alternative). This CD was narrowly outdistanced for #1 by "Penthouse", by Luna. Almost every artist I'm into nowadays was in some way influenced by The Velvet Underground.
 Sorry, I just don't get it May 16, 1999

I know this is going to be heresy. I first heard this band's record over thirty years ago. The rock press was fallin' all over themselves with praise about how important this band was. They were mentioned in the same sense as the Beatles, Stones, Byrds .ect as major rock influences. I bought this album in the mid sixties, I listened many times, trying to like it and wondering what I was missing. Most garage bands I knew could play and make up better songs. The songs are one or two cords (oK sometimes three), the singers drone on and on, I'm never sure what they are going on about and the whole thing was recorded in a substandart fashion, which makes it unlistenable. I was recently making a late sixties mix and bought the album, I am leaving them off! Sorry, not the Beatles, not even the Iron Butterfly or even Blue Cheer.. Skip this one, if you want a better picture of the sixties and it's wierdness, get the Nuggets box set instead: Relics From the Psychedelic Era..
It has a sixties LSD sound that I really love. Its great. March 16, 1999

The velvet underground and Nico is one of the best rock bands of the sixties. The music has an LSD, kind of unique sound. They have a tremendous amount of talent and I wish they still created more music, in a way, they are creating music, through me and millions of others who has inspired them, so in a way they still are makeing music.
truly alternative March 15, 1999

I wish to add that this band is a truly alternative rock group. this overused term does not apply to the pop bands of today that loosely call themselves alternative. Green day and offsrping are not alternative. the Velvet underground define what is meant but alternative rock.
unforgettable experment in music March 15, 1999

this album is the forfather of many current styles of rock. Punk, art-rock, grunge and many other sdecended from this. The opening track with nico is hauntingly beautiful and Waiting For The man is one of the most exilairating examples of garage sounding har rock that exists in the wordl. heroin is without any doubt the most profound disturbing drug song ever rocorded. the velvet underground established a sound that has been imitated by many others including Nirvan and the sonic Youth. the velvets were truly original. they cannon be easily compared to anything eles. It is others that are compared to them. Listening to this recording is an experiecne like the latter day beatles, The Mahavishnu orchestra, John Coltrane, Farnk Zappa, or early screaming Jay hawkins. By all means if you don't already own this cd buy it. It doesn't matter how old you are if you like rock you cannot afford to miss this groundbreaker.
