Whast to say about The Velvet Underground & Nico? This album is essentially trolling in the pre-Internet era, but not in a way that I feel I can enjoy. I felt a bit of distaste for half the songs from the moment they started, while the other half tricked me into thinking I'd like the song then the band had to violate an instrument or two... every time. I honestly never want to listen to this album again, there isn't anything to enjoy here.

Here's my ranking, I guess, they could all just be last place really...

1. There She Goes Again
2. I'm Waiting for the Man
3. I'll Be Your Mirror
4. Venus in Furs
5. All Tomorrow's Parties
6. Femme Fatale
7. The Black Angel's Death Song
8. Sunday Morning
9. Run Run Run
10. Heroin
11. European Son

After this I'm tempted to nominate nothing but club music when my turn comes around.
Have you... never listened to artsy / experimental music before at all? (If so, that's fine!) It's completely reasonable not to like VU&Nico - I said already that I don't think much of it myself! - but this is one of the most beloved and influential records of all time. To suggest that either the band themselves or their fans are somehow insincere or trolling is an absolutely baffling take.
