I'll go as far as to say that their latter 2 albums weren't particularly innovative, but VU&N sure as hell was. The odd yet relaxing vocals of Nico, the screeching electric violin on Venus In Furs and Heroin, the minimalistic qualities of all the songs themselves, the crazily distorted guitars throughout, ect.... I'd say that's pretty damn innovative.
