Sean...if you enjoyed this tune...then I agree...you might as well buy 'em all...and despite the difference of opinions..."Loaded"...although the most popular of all VU releases...is considered overall... a mediocre album by many VU fans...and probably my least favorite...and Im a huge fan...also...my 2 cents...solo projects by Lou Reed,etc...use extreme caution...most is crap....
Question for Velvet Underground fans
Heard a VU tune on the radio today, but i didn't know it was VU. Sounded like a current band trying to cover early Lou Reed, but with a more "modern" yet "retro" sound. As such, i was kind of shocked to find out it really was Lou Reed / VU and that the music had held up as well as it did.
Now that that part is over with, the tune kept repeating something about being 5 years old, etc... What is the name of this tune and what album is it on ? Is this a good album to become familiarized with VU recordings or should i start somewhere else ? I prefer NOT to buy "greatest hits" as it seems like you miss so much of the band by not hearing the "less popular" stuff. For those that have both, do VU recordings sound better on LP or vinyl ? Sean
