So far, there is a tie between White Light/White Heat and The Velvet Underground. 😕
VU & Nico is winning. 😐
And Loaded has only one vote. 🙁

haha, I see i'm the only one that voted for Loaded so far. It's the most thoroughly listenable to me by far, followed closely by White Light/White Heat. VU & Nico is 50/50 for me (though my favorite VU song, Black Angel Death Song, is off of it), and the third only has a couple of songs that I really love (What Goes On, Some Kind Of Love, After Hours).

They're too good for you purple, go listen to Katy Perry instead 😜

The one that we all knew that It will be the first in this poll. And guess what ! It is ! But i'm supprised no one voted for loaded 😢
But isn't strange that a lot of the beatles or bob dylan albums are popular ( I mean even among the average music lovers) but VU have only 1 super popular album, but the other ones are just pretty much unknown. And when I look to the critics or to the music lovers they are considered just as good (meaning perfect too).

it looks like music history have been really unfair with the VU. Well in another thread someone responded that they were just too much underground for those times.

Yeah, I'm also surprised Loaded didn't get any votes, especially considering that it's just a few spots lower than White Light on the overall chart. 🤔
And yes, it is strange. I mean, okay, ignore the later albums, but White Light/White Heat unknown? 😢
Yeah, they were too underground. So underground that they even had "Underground" in their name.

Are VU and Another View not considered proper Velvet Underground albums? I think you can make an argument that VU is, because a lot of those tracks were intended for a lost album. Anyway, I like the quieter, more mellow side of the band best, so my fav is the third self-titled album.

Well, they are not, you know, among their original studio albums.....
I didn't like their quieter side as much as their HARD, ROCKING SIDE.

I voted for White Light/White Heat. The Velvet Underground & Nico is flawless, but I keep coming back to "Sister Ray" so often that I think its mere presence on a record makes it a gem. The third album is very good, Loaded's at least good. For Velvet fans, as Hayden pointed out, the VU compilation is also a must-have.

Agreed.

Probably still prefer Nico though

Just had to give it to WL/WH--THOSE SOLOS OH GOD
And thank you for not soiling the list of options with that abortion of an album which shall not be named. But it's Squeeze. That I'm talking about.
Squeeze sucks.
Hard.
