    Yeah, who wouldn't love a tall German woman who had a voice like crossdressed man? Not to mention that she was mostly tone deaf, from everything I've heard. Listen to Femme Fatale and tell me one part of her singing that's actually in any kind of discernable key.

    The Velvet Underground put out some wierd and sometimes decent stuff, but come on, number one? Gimme a break.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Nico became a herion addict, got off the herion and died in a bicycling accident with no money.

    The Velvets were not good musicians, I agree, but the lyrics to Nico's and Lou's tunes were interesting then and now.

    Interesting list. I have 21 of them. As George G said, in no way represents a "best" list although some would be on it. Kinda makes me feel like a trend follower :o

    By the way I thought Nico was the best part of the album but I was young then and full of hormones.

    Agree. I was not and still not a big fan of VU music although I have this album (cd) and appreciate their impact. Nico was an interesting person. Try and find a documentary film called Nico Icon. Its a very well done take on her life before, during and after VU.

    Well, they may have changed other peoples worlds but not mine, I own none of those listed.
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    They, along with many other omissions mentioned by you guys, were not the pioneers... maybe a little too late or not as popular or are a combination of other influences. I saw Metallica mentioned at some point. Metallica is 90% Black Sabbath with Ginger Baker thrown in for bringing drummers the double bass. And now-a-days they are 100% AC/DC with 3 chords and a basic drum beat. At least AC/DC was good at what they did though..........
