Rather than categorize the songs or album here's a VU playlist for maximum VU listening pleasure. (=

• What Goes On: Really great catchy guitar riff. Love the overdrive!
• Candy Says: Really moving lyrics. Lou Reed's voice has really great clarity in this song.
• Rock & Roll: "you start dancin' to that fine fine music You know her life is saved by rock 'n' roll,

Yeah, rock n' roll "

• Some Kinda Love: Has that signature psychedelic sound we both love. The lyrics are pretty dirty and obscure-the sort of stuff hipsters appreciate.
• Heroin: not a first listen song. the song is just like heroin, it picks up slows down erratically and is quite a trip. really have to get in the mood though, otherwise it sounds monotonous.
• Who Loves The Sun: I like it cause it was used in High Fidelity.
• Sister Ray: really good use of 20 minutes
• Beginning to See the Light: I took a lot of comfort from this song post break up w/ Ben. The lyrics are philosophical, ironic, and funny and Lou Reed has really great range. Love his voice. very zexy.
