I'm excluding Sister Ray for obvious reasons. A lot of the people on listology who like the VU are Scaruffists and considering it regularly places first out of all rock songs not even just the VU I think it would hog the votes. For the same reason I don't think VU or Loaded songs will get many of the votes. Perhaps Pale Blue Eyes or What Goes On. I'm not including Squeeze because to call that a real VU album is a joke. I pondered over Loaded but put it in anyway.
Definitely "Heroin." Even including "Sister Ray," I'd say that "Heroin" is their best song.
I mean, I dig "Sister Ray," but I don't see why it's one of the all-time greatest songs. I prefer pretty much every track of The Velvet Underground & Nico.
I love all their albums, though.

Amen, dude.
I think my favorite is the gorgeous "Pale Blue Eyes," but it's close.
Yes, well some people prefer their fluffy songs.
This poll would be worthwhile if it included Sister Ray. I'm protesting by not voting
Whoa, that was in no way a thoughtful response. Insulting the opinion of someone who merely asked why a song was great, and who said that they even like the song themselves, isn't very cool.
Apologies if I'm taking this too harshly.
Wait, Lorem ipsum gave a snide, kneejerk-insult answer? Neeeeever woulda thought it.
Seriously, man, the disdain Mr. ipsum oozes upon everything he can is kinda monotonous.
Agreed. I was hoping if I ignored him he would just go away again.
My favourite rock, not VU, rock song is Sister Ray...the point is I want to see what is people's favourite song excluding Sister Ray. I'd hardly call Heroin, Venus In Furs, Black Angel's Death Song, European Son or I Heard Her Call My Name 'fluffy' songs. I'm kind of a Scaruffist too but don't worry we're 'allowed' to like more than Sister Ray from the Velvet Underground ;)
