  • My top 33% of their output... the cream of the crop.
  • Songs are listed in album order and not in order of preference.
  • The 37 songs from the 4 LPs with Lou Reed were judged together and, as it turned out, my favorites are evenly distributed between albums.

  • The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

  • THERE SHE GOES AGAIN
  • I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR
  • EUROPEAN SON

  • White Light/White Heat (1967)

  • WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT
  • I HEARD HER CALL MY NAME
  • SISTER RAY

  • THE VELVET UNDERGROUND (1969)

  • WHAT GOES ON
  • BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT
  • I'M SET FREE

  • LOADED (1970)

  • SWEET JANE (Full Length Version)
  • HEAD HELD HIGH
  • TRAIN ROUND THE BEND

  • In the mid 1980s, 19 previously unreleased songs dating from the 1960s were released. These songs were judged on their own and not with the above 1960s releases.

  • VU (1985)

  • 1 CAN'T STAND IT
  • STEPHANIE SAYS
  • OCEAN
  • FOGGY NOTION
  • TEMPTATION INSIDE YOUR HEART

  • ANOTHER VIEW (1986)

    "Ride Into the Sun"

    appears here for the first time but it is the version with vocals by Doug Yule found on "Peel Slowly and See" that gets my pick.

No picks were from memory... For a fresh 2006 perspective, all songs were listened to prior to making selections.
