'The Velvet Underground and Nico'

Got to give the Underground credit: They never really overextended themselves. Which is kind of a double-edged sword. Try to hard and it's obvious. Don't try hard enough and it's lazy.

I tend to group the Underground with the former.

It must have been pretty exciting to be 21 years old in 1967 listening to the Beatles, Beach Boys, Stones and Underground.

Uh, hold on. At 21 in 1967, you're probably getting your guts blown out in Vietnam. No thanks. I'll just download it from iTunes in 2008 and keep my guts.
