I'm only allowing one record per artist (among other criteria), so that frees up many slots in terms of what I think are the best albums of all time.

Aha, good criteria. There's nothing more annoying than a list someone creates dominated by a dozen albums of their favorite artist, or of every single record the Beatles ever put out (nothing against the Beatles, just a common example lol). Have fun & hope you decide to post it here.

BTW...my favorite by VU is their self-titled endeavor...it has just recently dethroned tVU&N after nearly 20 years. Not sure why, but music will do that, I suppose.

Oh yeah. Heroin is a hell of a song, lyrically and structure-wise. I remember the first time I heard that one it kinda blew me away. That first album has a lot of experimental tracks & some pretty out there ones too. For me the self-titled one's a lot easier to listen to - more consistent I guess? I'm not as familiar with White Light/White Heat but I'll take your word for it, hah. And I like Loaded because it's just got a different tone to it overall... I remember giving the album to my dad after he'd heard their other albums and asked me why all of their music was depressing xD I guess it's their only album I can say puts me in a good mood. The others are great, yeah, but I almost have to be in a certain mindset to sit down & listen to them if that makes sense.
