The bedrock of alternative rock. From the dreamy lullaby of ?Sunday Morning" through the propulsively strummed drug anthem "Im Waiting For The Man", and onto the evocative "Femme Fatale", sung by the Andy Warhol lent chanteuse Nico , this brilliant debut album showcased every aspect of one of the most influential bands of all-time. Since so many bands have taken their cue from the Velvet blueprint over the years, it's easy to forget how startlingly original their confrontational music was during the Summer Of Love. Initially despised but now revered by both musicians and critics, the band possessed the vision and guts to go against the grain, with John Cales skewed viola cries lending an otherworldly ambiance to tracks like the sadomachoistic Venus In Furs and the elongated classic Heroin, where gutter poet Lou Reed vividly talk-sings about shooting up. A 60s garage band at heart, the Velvet Underground were led by Reed, a great songwriter who was also capable of more straightforward fare such as "Run Run Run" and "There She Goes Again". The band is long remembered for their association with Warhol, who supplied the famous banana cover but who in reality had little to do with the bands musical direction (despite being credited as the albums producer). His discovery, Nico, is to many an acquired taste, but I think the songs this icy goddess sings are among the most riveting things here, including the lonely dirge "All Tomorrows Parties" and the hauntingly spare "I?ll Be Your Mirror".
