1. VU & Nico, but White Light/White Heat really is close behind.
2. VU is much more thing. Lou Reed's very hit and miss for me.
3. Nico, no thank you. VU & Nico.
4.
- Ocean
- Venus In Furs
- All Tomorrow's Parties
- Lady Godiva's Operation
- Oh! Sweet Nuthin'
- Pale Blue Eyes
- The Gift
I know that's not five but I care not.
5. Absolutely not. I love psychedelia, but VU were in no way a psychedelic band in my opinion. More experimental/avant-garde/art-rock.
BQ: They have some lovely music, however, I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to that sort of music because mostly I find it quite lacking.

1. Loaded.
2. John Cale solo is better than both, but if I had to choose one, probably the Velvet Underground.
3. As much as I love Nico, VU&Nico is one of the most consequential albums in history.
4. "Sister Ray", "Pale Blue Eyes", "Heroin", "Venus in Furs", "Sweet Jane"
...At the moment.
5. I don't hear any psychedelic sounds in their music at all, so no, it really wouldn't be.
BQ: They don't really jell with me, no.
