Has anyone actually listened to that album?

I really despise Loaded as well. There were a couple good songs, Sweet Jane, Who Loves the Sun and New Age, but the rest of it was just annoying. I also found White Light/White Heat to be a little much for me. I actually only liked The Gift and Here She Comes Now.
That being said, VU & Nico and there self titled album are among the best, most original pieces of art I've ever heard. I think they still stand up well today even. Lou Reed was one sick ****, and that's an important part of being a great artist sometimes lol.
Some of my lesser known favorites are Venus in Furs, The Black Angel's Death Song and Jesus. Everyone should check this band out, they influenced alot of bands, even if you can't hear it right off the bat.
