While VU is definitely not my most listened to band, the fact that they were able to produce beautiful ideas out of ugly conceptions is what makes them so extraordinary in my opinion.
I still prefer & Nico though, if anything just for those moments of respite haha

Oh I definitely didn't want to compare Journey and AC/DC POSITIVELY to TVU... Sorry if it came across that way :S I meant, TVU played rock and roll in a very unrefined manner. Bands like AC/DC and Journey took that formula and made it (in my elitist opinion) very boring and lifeless.
& Nico is definitely my second favorite. I would definitely place it in the same ballpark as WL/WH.
