The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground

One of my favorite albums of all-time. Sunday Morning is just so gorgeous with its sweet playful melody. It gives no clue as to the mayhem to come. Waiting for my Man is simply the best song about scoring drugs EVER. Femme Fatale introduces the deep sultry voice of Nico and her unconventional voice fits the song perfectly Things take a turn for the macabre with Venus in Furs, showcasing John Cale's viola. Side one ends with my favourite vehicle for Nico's vocals; the utterly gorgeous All Tomorrow's Parties. Side 2 is just as provocative and ground-breaking. My only gripe, I wish the sound was better. Possibly my all time favourite album. 5 stars...DUH!
