Velvet Underground 

The Velvet Underground was an experimental rock band from the 1960s and early 1970s. In its early formation, they consisted of Lou Reed (guitar, vocals), John Cale (bass, viola, keyboards and vocals), Maureen Tucker (drums) and Sterling Morrison (guitar), and on the debut album by Nico (vocals).

The band was known as the protégées of Andy Warhol, who also produced their debut album. With their provocative lyrics about sadomasochism, transvestism and drug addiction during their existence they remained commercially unsuccessful, but now regarded as an influential pioneer of experimental rock music.

CD   MP3 
Calling an 11-track CD the best of the Velvets is something of a misnomer--the band was too prolific and creative for that sort of reductivism, and obviously the omission of certain songs (take your pick, fans) is going to rankle ...
