"By: Velvet Underground & Nico
Release date: 1967
Standing track: All Tomorrow's Parties
This album is a great example of phenomenal lyrics, great vocals and prophetic music. One of the most powerful albums ever made, Velvet Underground songs are on a cinematic level, with each, similar they may sound, having a distinct and unique story in them.
All the songs on Side 1 are brilliant and are the backbone of the album. From Side 2, I'll Be Your Mirror is just not to be missed."
