Album Club - Week 147: 27/05/2014: The Velvet Underground - Loaded (1970)

Haha - I thought "Sweet Jane" was "Mary Jane"(a euphanism for marijuana, as you rightly say) in disguise.

I enjoyed this album, not quite the originality of Lou Reed's Transformer, but still holds up very well given the fact it came out in 1970. I am voting 7.

Good choice Paul.
I enjoyed moist of the tracks on this album, a couple I just not get into even after a couple of listens. 7/10

Lou Reed - nuff said.

Sweet Jane followed by Rock & Roll, great songs.

Loaded gets 8/10 from me......now if it was White Light, White Heat it would be a 10. (Sister Ray)

Nice one Paul.

I like Lou Reed as a solo artist and there were a couple of songs on this album that were good but overall the album gets a 6 out of ten for me. There just weren't enough tracks that made an impact. I will listen to some more of their albums though and see if my opinion changes.
