The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground (1969)



My sister bought me this record for my 21st birthday. I played it a few times and thought it was alright. I recently rediscovered it and have been listening to it daily for the past couple of weeks. I'm completely obsessed. Though this album isn't recognized by some as one of the groups best efforts, it still shows that the band was clearly way ahead of their time. Bass player Doug Yule starts the album with "Candy Says," setting the tone for the rest of the record. Enjoy!
