I go with The VU. I'm not a big fan of Nico but I really like the rest of the band. They were really experimental without going off the deep end, like Beefheart. That's not to say I don't appreciate Beefheart, I do. I like his music. The VU, to me, is just quite a bit better. Sneer said it best when he/she said "the songs are beautifully crafted, full of depth and meaning, whilst despite the experimentation fizzes and crashes throughout, there is an accessibility to the music."
