The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

One would be hard pressed to name a rock album whose influence has been as broad and pervasive as The Velvet Underground and Nico. While it reportedly took over a decade for the album's sales to crack six figures, glam, punk, new wave, goth, noise, and nearly every other left-of-center rock movement owes an audible debt to this set. While The ...

by The Velvet Underground

Peel Slowly and See (1995) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

Does this five-CD box set feature an abundance of essential material? Certainly. It has all four of the studio albums released by the Lou Reed-led lineup, and a wealth of previously unreleased goodies. Is it an essential purchase? That depends on your level of fanaticism. Most serious Velvet fans have all four of the core studio albums already ...

The Classic Years

The Classic Years (1998) more music like this

by Nico

The Classic Years is an excellent, portable introduction to the challenging and singular work of Nico. It's questionable as to why Chronicles opted to include her three vocal contributions to The Velvet Underground and Nico, however. What are the odds of someone not owning that record prior to checking out the ice queen's solo material? ...

1969: Velvet Underground Live, Vol. 2 (1974) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

Maureen Tucker once said that one of her greatest regrets about her tenure in the Velvet Underground is that the band didn't record their shows, and while the live tapes that do survive of the group's performances document an extraordinary band, sadly there aren't very many of them. 1969: Velvet Underground Live, a two-record set released in 1974, ...

Live at Max's Kansas City

Live at Max's Kansas City (1972) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

There's a certain amount of disagreement among Velvet Underground scholars regarding whether or not this album, recorded by Andy Warhol associate and longtime fan Brigid Polk on a portable cassette recorder on August 23, 1970, does in fact document Lou Reed's final appearance with the VU. If this wasn't his last stand with the group, it was ...

Chronicles (2005) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

By this point in rock history, it's a given that the Velvet Underground were one of the most important and influential American bands of all time, and that the four studio albums they recorded between 1966 and 1970 are brilliant and essential listening. The first three of those albums -- The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, and ...

Live MCMXCIII

Live MCMXCIII (1993) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

The four original Velvets chose to put decades-old differences aside and reunite for a series of European concerts. Recorded at L'Olympia Theatre in Paris over three nights, Live MCMXCIII is available as either a two-disc set containing the whole show, or as an abridged single-disc set. There's a real cutting edge to this concert recording that ...

Perfect Night: Live in London

Perfect Night: Live in London (1998) more music like this

by Lou Reed

By 1997, the "Unplugged" craze, in which nearly every rocker under the sun decided to look back on their songbook with tasteful and unamplified maturity, had just about run its course, but that wasn't about to stop Lou Reed from belatedly trying the same gimmick for his performance at London's 1997 Meltdown Music Festival. Reed's semi-acoustic ...

Gold (2005) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

At this point in music history, it's become a given that the Velvet Underground were one of the most important and innovative rock bands of their era, and that the four albums they released during their lifespan rank with the most challenging and satisfying work in the rock canon. For beginners and dabblers, though, this invites the question of ...

An Introduction to the Velvet Underground (2001) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

Wow, at the dawn of the 21st century does anyone really need An Introduction to the Velvet Underground? The answer is probably yes, but it's difficult to imagine. This is one of several VU compilations out there, and despite some obvious shortcomings, it's one of the better ones. At 16 tracks, it's a better deal than the 11-track 20th Century ...

Beautiful [EP] (2003) more music like this

by Clem Snide

Clem Snide's Beautiful [EP] is built around the band's cover of Christina Aguilera's power ballad "Beautiful." A lot of indie bands, when doing a cover of a chart hit, will do it winkingly or archly; Clem Snide display no such distance. The group throw themselves into the performance like it was the best song ever written; Eef Barzelay delivers ...

The String Quartet Tribute to the Velvet Underground + Nico (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Vitamin's The String Quartet Tribute to the Velvet Underground + Nico follows a formula similar to the label's numerous other releases in this niche genre, but it has the curious effect of rendering the Velvets' music in an even more decadent light. The musicians -- violinists, violists, and cellists, with finger cymbals and mandolin adding ...

The Darkest Angel (1999) more music like this

by Mariel

When Mariel's third album, The Darkest Angel, came out in 1999, the artist that she found herself being compared to more than anyone was Jewel. But the obscure singer/songwriter from Cherry Hill, NJ was pursuing a career in music long before Jewel hit big with "Who Will Save Your Soul" in 1996, so it would be inaccurate to say that Jewel was a ...

The Velvet Underground entry in Universal's environmentally friendly, three-disc Playlist Plus series features 38 tracks culled from the group's four studio albums, as well as cuts taken from solo Nico and Lou Reed records (sadly, no solo John Cale).

1969: Velvet Underground Live (1974) more music like this

by The Velvet Underground

Sadly, outside of a handful of audience tapes of extremely variable fidelity, no one thought to make a live recording of The Velvet Underground during their 1967-68 peak period with John Cale prodding Lou Reed into remarkable flights of noise rock fancy. However, in 1969 a VU fan who was a recording engineer brought a reel-to-reel tape machine to ...
