The worst thing that ever happened to The Velvet Underground was that they were heralded as more than a really excellent late 60s changing of the tides band.
It gave us a decade + of crappy music by Lou Reed and this horrid offering from Nico and John Cale.
Oh, man. That “My Funny Valentine” cover…was it a joke? Was she trying to sound like a parody of Marlene Dietrich? Because Madeline Kahn got there way first.
We already have a Tom Waits, a Laurie Anderson, a Yoko Ono and a Nina Hagen. We don’t need a shitty version of all four.
This is unattractive music, poorly sung and gratingly dull.
