Loaded

Rolling Stone Rank: 109

This has definitely been one of the more impressive bands and records that I've heard. I might say the highlight so far of the next 100. Before I started listening to these, I didn't quite understand why the message board posters were so adamant about this band. And to be honest, even though I liked the first album, This one was truly great. It was completely written by Lou Reed, although according to RS he left the band just before the record was completed. Neat fact, the album was called Loaded because record executives wanted them to make an album loaded with hits.

Stats

Album: Loaded

Artist: Velvet Underground
Year: 1970
My Favorite Song: I Found a Reason
Next Up: Radiohead? How did they get here?
