  • ^^Whose best album isn't their notorious first, but elegant third. I'm pretty sure I've spoken to Oliver about this and he disagreed, but he's wrong.

    I would say about all of their albums that they're patchy. Many of my favourite VU songs are on the third album, but I don't like 'Jesus', for instance, and I just wouldn't say about any of their albums that they're my favourite. The songs to which I listen the most are 'Sister Ray', 'Beginning to See the Light', 'I'll be Your Mirror', 'Pale Blue Eyes', 'What Goes on', 'I'm Set Free', 'Head Held High', 'Train Round the Bend', 'Sweet Jane', 'I Can't Stand It Any More', and 'Rock'n'Roll', in no particular order. Those are my favourites, and there are a couple of them on each album. It's a shame that half of 'Loaded' is ridiculous crap like 'Lonesome Cowboy Bill', 'New Age', or 'Oh! Sweet Nuthin'', or that could have been a really good album in its entirety.
