I don't think a song can sound more mid-1960s than this one.... Great stuff. I love that era of music.

Possibly my favourite song from the album - though it's tough competition.

Just a droned-out droning drone of a song...yeah, hypnotic.

Record collection: hell yeah. Its just such a work of art. Thats a "Captain Obvious" type of statement from me, but still.

If you like Blues/Rock/Psychedelic/Folk fusion, I'd strongly suggest The Blues Project 1966 album "Projections". From the same Greenwich Village crowd of the mid 60s. They were a big cult band with no major hits. Several band members went on the form Blood, Sweat & Tears, but the Blues Project was of course a very different sound. Steve Katz (from both bands) went on to produce Lou Reed albums after he left BS&T in 1972

Blues Project was indeed a great band. I have not heard them in many many years.

VU's unique psychedelic style, I guess that's the only way to describe it since it doesn't sound like anything else. The double tracking of Nico's vocals is perfect for the music.

Lou Reed’s guitar in the right channel has a sitar feel to it, possibly influenced by The Byrd’s “Eight Miles High”, which was influenced by Ravi Shankar. If you’ve enjoyed Nico, check out her debut album “Chelsea Girl”, released later that year. Members of VU both played on and wrote several of the songs. It also featured early songs of a then 18 year old Jackson Browne.

Lol glad you're beginning to see why this album is so highly regarded by both critics and fans, though it wasn't at the time. Looking forward to side 2, starting with Heroin.

Another 60s band to check out is Love. Their masterpiece is their 3rd album, Forever Changes but their first 2 albums are also classics.

White Light/White Heat is a must listen! Deni will love it, I see that album as an extension of the banana album in continuing as a groundbreaker. It's also very similar to the banana album but different at the same time. Sister Ray is awesome and I Heard Her Call My Name is just crazy nuts great and that's just side B which is my favorite side.

@@deepdivemusicreactions I just don't hope it gets blocked live streaming 😬. With my luck I'll miss the live stream then it'll get blocked. Think of the banana album but even weirder and more extreme 😁. You got a docket of albums to get to, so no pressure. I just don't want you to dismiss it. It continues to influence the future of music: Punk, New Wavy Punk, New Wave, Synth Pop, Glam - I'd say the whole gambit late 70s through 80s. Then you can say you know their whole catalog and how seminal it fits the past and future of Rock.
