They are cool. Discuss. (:

Yes, yes they are.

They were a great, beautiful and perverted band

I enjoy a lot Nico's songs with VU.

They were the first noise band...............precursor to punk...........rewad please kuill me......theyhave the first half of the book.it's the un abrieved version of the punk early days....just abinch of interviews.its funny.sick.beutiful......pure genius

THe Velvet Underground is agreat band. They werent very popular in the 70's because they were ahead of their time.

they were realy the 60's, they were a cult band....they really started all the bands you know....The new york dools....iggy.....Nico....Ramones

my bad, i thought they were both 60's and 70's, but they basically were the starters of punk, right?

Loaded was released in 1970.

And yes, they were higly influential on rock as a whole.

It's really too bad. They were a great band, you just never hear their name anymore

yeah i know what you mean. i'm 12 and have grown up listening to them. my dad loves them...i've been hearing quite a bit about lou reed at the moment though.

You do hear about them now though..They're on all those " Best albums" lists and Vu & Nico was recently re-released in a special edition.

No I don't

Then you are just watching mtv and reading billboard charts.

No I'm not

The Velvet Underground and Nico is number 13 on Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. Loaded is 109, White Light/White Heat is 292, and The Velvet Underground is 314.....

oh god yeah..

Guy, first there is the peel slowly and see edition with 4 releases and 2 cds with raw material. With this box you have all you want.
VU and Nico is from 67 or 69's and is one of the most influential ones.
Lou Reed was pointed by some magazine as the grandpa of punk and their second album (WL/WH) is the precursor of white noise.

Perhaps we all wish to had the chance to see them (VU) alive, but it could be like too much.

Vu and Nico is amazing (take sunday morning as an example)

VU and Nico is a brilliant album. I like most of their stuff but that is what makes them a great band in my opinion.
