TVU is only "godly" because everyone sucks it's dick, though the only super legitimately great songs are waiting for the man, heroin, and Venus in fur. You know what, I'll even say that Sunday morning is a great track too. BUT If it wasn't held so highly because of its art appeal because faggy andy warhol it would be another average release. Also, Nico and their tranny voice ruin all the songs they are on. It's a boring album and gets more dull the more you listen to it.
If it wasn't for andy warhol, it would be any other album by Lou Reed. Andy Warhol did the cover for sticky fingers too. Maybe you should start suckling on its dick too. Oh wait, rolling Stones aren't cool enough for you because they sold too many records and are legitimately good. Maybe if they were more obscure and shitty you would like them more.

I agree that TVU&N is an overrated album. It's good, but The Velvet Underground had better albums.
The Rolling Stones on the other hand suck major ass. Not even Andy Warhol could fix their suckage.
Jayden Flores
No. The reason it's seen as godly is because there was nothing like it before and it was outrageously influential. Without it music would be unimaginably different. Also The Rolling Stones are pretty good, but they were not ground breaking in any way
James Miller
wrong
Jacob Gutierrez
it was bold and new for its time /thread

>nico and their tranny voice ruin all the songs they are on >it's a boring album >another average release I can't tell if you're baiting or legitimately this big of an idiot who's just angry that he can't appreciate something which is acclaimed for good reason. your post reeks of bitterness stemming from the latter.
this album is the literally furthest thing from boring and you have to be pretty dense to not see that. from alternating between the noisy, raw sound to clean, smooth tracks to incredibly taboo subjects in lyrics, this album took a hammer to what was mainstream at that time. It completely changed rock and influenced countless bands/artists/albums since. not to mention what they did at that time was groundbreaking. also, even andy's label coudn't carry it in its time and over time few other records have gained as much acclaim as this one has. this should tell you about how it's the album's sound itself that carries it.
I mean, if you don't understand the appeal of something, try making a conscious effort and listen to why people acclaim it before making posts like this that make you seem like a fool.
Cameron White
Is Nico really transgender? I've heard conflicting things about this.
Jace Watson
no. read literally any book detailing the avant-garde music scene of that time or surrounding warhol, nico or the events of tvu and everyone describes nico as the perfect european feminine beauty. pretty sure nico was just a normal woman.

Best:Sunday Morning, Venus In Furs, Heroin, All Tomorrows Parties, WFTM

Daniel Hill
All Tomorrow's Parties is so fucking underrated.
Eli Torres
second this
Brandon Rodriguez
Agreed. The last two tracks are complete avant-dogshit and most of the album is just Lou Reed tracks that get boring 30 seconds into their 5-6 minute runtimes. It's a cluttered, overlong album that only sometimes reaches the level of high-art and great musicianship that it's fans insist it to be. White Light/White Heat and their second self-titled album, on the other hand, are indisputable masterpieces.

Nicholas Torres
You have to be a total hipster sheep to think any of those two songs are listenable for longer than maybe 20 seconds.
Xavier Ross

all tomorrows partys is a jam whats your malfunction dude
James Flores
three, excuse me
Grayson Cook
this. the lyrics are fuckin beautiful
Ryan King
All Tomorrow's Parties is just a single piano riff and guitar noodling set to Nico's unpleasant singing voice, and that's coming from a big fan of Nico's solo work. What ails you, my man?
Cooper White
Best song of Nico's career desu.
Gavin Long
>clearly hasn't heard any of her goth grandma trilogy clon
Michael Bell
The lyrics to All Tomorrow's Parties are beautiful, and the drums are mesmerizing.
Easton Edwards
>Assuming that I don't already think Desertshore is a 10/10 album
Justin Powell
Dont remove anything and add euro son
Ryan Baker
Its definitely better than some of the worst. Its not great though
Is this the most grating singing voice possessed by any semi-popular singer?
Levi Price
Andy Warhol made a film based on A Clockwork Orange called Vinyl thats shit on
Austin Jenkins
You sound angry about something. Wanna talk about it?
David Rogers
all tomorrow's parties started goth
Colton Long
This 'Nico ruins TVU' opinion is just as bad as 'Jarboe ruins SFTB'.
Anyone with this kind of opinion is automatically an absolute pleb with shit taste.

>"I'll Be Your Mirror" was the most difficult for Nico to record, as the band wanted her to provide slender, delicate vocals for the song, yet she would sing louder, more aggressive vocals take after take. Sterling Morrison described the ordeal in an interview: >She kept singing "I'll Be Your Mirror" in her strident voice. Dissatisfied, we kept making her do it over and over again until she broke down and burst into tears. At that point we said, "Oh, try it just one more time and then fuck it — if it doesn't work this time, we're not going to do the song." Nico sat down and did it exactly right.[5] >The members of the band enjoyed her particular performance on the song so much that after she left the band in late 1967, live vocals for the song were done imitating Nico's accent lel
