Happy Monday R&P. Who cares that the rain makes plants grow? (#27)?
First off, here are the recent selections:
39. Aimee Mann – It's Not
38. The Silver Jews – The Wild Kindness
37. Billy Joel – Laura
36. Sebadoh – Homemade
35. Sonic Youth – Dirty Boots
34. Neutral Milk Hotel – In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

31. Stephen Malkmus – Jenny and the Ess Dog

For number 27 I went with a classic. My favorite tune (though it was a tough choice) by one of the most influential bands in rock's history, particularly influential over bands of that I listen to. Not a ton to say, just a really great tune.
the Velvet Underground – Who Loves the Sun

so here we have a song that is my 4th favorite song on my 4th favorite (out of 4) velvet underground album…and yet its incredible. just shows how deep the catalog goes really, inspite of existing so briefly as a band. yes i like sweet jane, rock and roll and oh! sweet nothing better from that album, and yes i like vu and nico, white light white heat and vu self titled better than loaded…and yet its a perfect choice for any mix cd and a great song and i couldnt fault you for picking it.
Hi Prof,Even though I'm a very big fan of the Velvet Underground, I haven't actually heard that song before. Loaded is definitely an album that I intend on getting though. Anyway I liked it a lot, very poppy and reminded me of the Beach Boys.My favourite VU song at the moment would probably be either Sunday Morning or After Hours.
Nice song Prof!!!It's really hard to pick one song from this band. Who Loves the Sun is definitely one of their best songs. I have always considered White Light/White Heat my favorite VU album. Letting John Cale guide the ship before he had to wonder somewhere else. For favorite song I will say "Sister Ray" for now… http://www.youtube0o0com/watch?v=gDtqbS7DK…
Hey Prof, love that tune. Although, Loaded is the one VU album that I really haven't been able to get into, aside from a few tracks. Favorite VU tune is either I'm Set Free or Lady Godiva's Operation.
hey prof,very cheery poppy choice.i prefer the darker side…venus in furshttp://www.youtube0o0com/watch?v=AwzaifhSw…
I love the rain…. esp as I live in an over-crowded semi-arid state! (California)The Velvet Underground is YET ANOTHER hold in my musical soul! But at least I know a few of their tunes.. Very nice choice, Prof
It's cool. The VU are pretty good. My favorite VU song is Pale Blue Eyes
Not everyone… But I do love the Velvets and this song.Right now, one of my favorites is Ocean.
