"White Light/White Heat" - your opinion

[Taverner]

Waaaaaaay ahead of its time. Amazing. Every tune on the album excellent.

Sister Ray...need I say more?

[NewWaveChick1981]

1. Everything the Velvet Underground ever did was way ahead

of its time. :D Amazing stuff...

2. Brilliant album, although Reed did crib the "storyline" of "Sister Ray"...

from Hubert Selby. Good luck getting Lou to admit that, though

3. It never ever ever gets old.

My parents would disagree with that,though. When I was in high school, "Sister Ray" was a very important part of my waking-up-for-school routine. Every day. Sometimes twice if I was especially sleepy.

Still works. :)

4. Lou's solo on "I Heard Her Call My Name"..

Is one of the greatest of all-time; a free as Ornette Coleman or Charlie Parker.

The most brutal album ever made..
