I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Ocean" (the longer version, from the box set, with John Cale playing, not the Loaded version). I think that's VU's greatest song and quite perfect. On the candidate list for greatest song ever.

My top five VU songs:

1. Ocean
2. Candy Says
3. Sunday Morning
4. Venus In Furs
5. Pale Blue Eyes

2. Heroin
3. I Heard Her Call My Name
4. Stephanie Says
5. Venus In Furs
6. White Light/White Heat
7. Here She Comes Now
8. Femme Fatale
9. Waiting For My Man
10.Sweet Jane

Love 'em

The first two albums are nearly perfect. I could live without the others. Whose idea was it to have Doug Yule sing? (Rhetorical question)

I love the Velvet Underground. They are such a creative and inspiring band. I cringe whenver they crop up in conversation and someone says who. In my opinion they have had such an influence on modern music that everyone shold know them

I personally don't care for Lou Reed or John Cale's solo works. And I thought Loaded was okay, but everything in between and after pretty much sucked.

I have been coming around to john Cale lately. Paris 1919 is awesome.

VU and Nico is by far their best too me. Loaded is my second choice. I am one of those VU fans who does not like White Light White Heat

I really don't care much for Loaded.

The only one I kinda like on that record is Who Loves The Sun. As for Sweet Jane and Rock n Roll I strongly perfer the versions on Lou Reed's solo live album American Poet.
