Venus in furs was the first ever song i heard from them, so yeah i love that along with Candy Says, White Light White Heat, Pale Blue Eyes, Sunday Morning, Heroin, After Hours (the list goes on)

And about that Warhol thing, coming from an art historian; believe me when i say that Warhol was the greatest artistic mind of the second half of 20th century, if interested, read a little bit Arthur Danto, he'll tell ya

idk about a top 10 or w/e that would take too long but if it counts the 35 min Heroin/Sister Ray jam track thing from The Legendary Guitar Amp Tapes bootleg could be the best thing the band ever recorded

Awesome - yeah that cartoon is a scene from the movie. You can't find it on YouTube, so I found the comic strip instead.

He produced their debut album. And did the cover artwork. And produced some of their early live "experiences".

Not to downplay him at all, but I do love this scene from a Utah cult classic called Ruben & Ed staring Crispin Glover:

Here's the trailer:

Hilarious. That's so funny. I like that cartoon.
Actually, the only thing that I personally think is really great by Andy Warhol are those awesome colorized pictures of movie stars. Like Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, and they were in bright Day- glo colors. I love those. I used to have a couple posters that I had for years, and put up on the wall wherever I lived. But eventually they started ripping and getting dirty and shit. I should have put them in a frame or something.

Alright maybe his art isn't like Picasso, but modern art is also about ideas, not just talent.

With Andy Warhol his idea is to instead of being pretentious thinking his art his super important, he just makes a soup can because he likes soup. Its ingenious! Getting people to worship you even though you're super uninteresting and make soup can portraits is also amazing! I think he is a genius, although my younger brother thinks more in line with the cartoon, but my brother's even weirder than me.

Oh no worries, mate. It's just a joke. To not recognize his cultural impact would be flawed.
