The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground & Nico was an album recorded in 1967. It featured the Velvet Underground: Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Maureen Tucker and German Vocalist, Nico. Andy Worhol, who created the album artwork, promoted and influenced its creation.

I've listened to this album before, as a friend of mine had it on vinyl, and I enjoyed it as background music. It wasn't until now that I actually listened to it. There are some very absurd and kind of controversial topics brought up, and the music is very... experimental.
