How will you Rank Velvet Underground's Albums?

Post by Sunwoo1213 »

For me, it's

1. Velvet Underground & Nico

2. Loaded

3. Velvet Underground

4. White Light/White Heat

1,2 is Great, 3 is little bit loose, and 4 is too Experimental.

And Squeeze doesn't feel like VU's Album....

1. VU & Nico
2. The Velvet Underground
Both are albums I really like, top 50 for one, top 200 for the other.
Don't care that much for the other 2 I have heard, I guess I'd go :
3. Loaded (for Having Sweet Jane and Oh! Sweet Nuthin')
4. White Light/White Heat

Doug Yule struck me as second-rate and got on my nerves.
Whenever I ponder the question, "When is a band dead even if there are still people laboring under the same name?" I'm usually very forgiving, but Squeeze is Exhibit A of a dead band (complete with fly-by-night band manager).

4. Loaded

If I had to throw in their miscellany, I'd put Another View on top, then VU, then Live, even though I only find certain tracks on each as good as their best stuff. I wouldn't let Squeeze anywhere near either list.
