They weren't too popular here, so they never worn on me. I can take them or leave them depending on the song. But I still love SOS, Pete Townsend said it was the greatest Pop song ever written. What I like about it is like a mini Prog song, under three and a half minutes.

It wasn't a writing partnership like Elton and a Bernie Taupin were like everything was a colabortain. They did write
some songs together, but Lou Reed singularly gets the credit for something like 73% of the songs on VU & Nico. But I'm not saying the Cale or the other had no imput, even Moe got credit on European son, and the band as a whole contribute to the music as a whole. Still "Sunday Morning" is enough to mention them.
I guess another example would be Mike Love and Brian Wilson there a few songs, but Brian wrote most, some with outside (of the band) help.
