Velvet Underground might not be comparable to Pink Floyd or Zep for the matter, they are just very different, all 3 of them... completely different. Part of the beauty of the Velvet's image is the cult aspect... Imagine the Rocky Horror Picture Show if every dumbass kid liked it... it would loose a lot of its charm, wouldn't it? Anyhow, the VU went to such intense areas of experimental rock that very few bands can match them in that aspect. Plus, "Heroin" has the best build-up in rock history.
You have to have at least heard Take A Walk On the Wild Side at some point. Like maybe commercials or advertisements... I don't really have a thing for that song, but it's one of those Lou Reed works that just calls out to you.
I assumed that you being the sex-crazed maniac that you are, you would've listened to their entire catalogue before you reached the age of nine.
So once on “My name is Earl” Earl switched the “special” brownies with the regular ones and people attacked him saying “I listened to a Phish album and it sucked!” “This comment is completely irrelevant and contains many “quotations”
Maybe so. But I'm afraid even Lou Reed ain't got shit on Fishman. Reed is a pretty big name around here. I knew a barber named Lou Reed.

Truest words I ever heard. Except that one time you said something awesome about the Pythons...and Bowie...and now Lou Reed. Anyways, yes.
That video butchers the song, but so does an old George Clinton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJrXALFtMV4
My ass butchers an old George Clinton. George Clinton tokes that rock... my brothah. You know how it goes... you know.
nyahaha at nine, I was busy being scholarly and awkward, thank you very much. I had hamsters and shit to tend to anyhow.
fellas! lets not argue about who would kick whos ass, or who could load up more heroin before overdosing. celebrate music of all shapes and forms ...although i would like to see phish preform sister ray live. i wish they covered "white light/white heat" rather then "loaded" on that one halloween show they did. i can see trey yelping "shes sucking on my ding-dong!". wonder what trey would sound like if he tried to solo in the ostrich tuning
Trey could probably do alot, though... Just.. uh... for the record. Not that I'm joking/serious.. or being ad absurdist about it, but.. yeah. I wonder who is the most susceptibally tolerant (without onset tolerance or whatever, the first time you try it) person to Heroin, in the world. There has to be someone that is completely unaffected by it...
