A Velvet Underground Compilation!


American Rock & Roll hasn't sounded better.
Every one of their albums is brilliant - the song writing, the production, the raw emotion.
They were one of the first to successfully marry the avant-garde with pop sensibilities & good ol' rock n' roll thanks to Lou's background with doo wop and John Cale's background with La Monte Young & John Cage.

I made my own "best of" compilation to share what I think to be an excellent retrospective of the band's existence & a perfect starting point for the uninitiated. It is also great for those familiar with the band because there are tracks from all of their albums & a few great live performances.

Please comment if you want to ask anything about the band, their albums, or this mix.
