No, but you said that saying that if you like Loaded the best you're not a true fan was crap, which I think is completely true. Hence, VU was nothing without Cale.

The Velvet Underground were not crap without John Cale, they were just different; their self-titled is awsome with Yule it's just different, its more rock and roll sounding.

I probably should've replied directly after listening to Loaded, anyway I liked parts the more sung songs? I don't really remember I may put it on again.

YouTube - Bright Eyes & Lou Reed

olol.

Ok, so I have listened to Loaded a rather large number of times - it wasn't a one-time-n-trash-it deal, I really really tried with it. And what I can say is that it just never blew me away - I don't think much of it qualifies as particularly remarkable pop/rock at all, and I certainly can't see why anybody would want to rank this as one of the truly best albums of the 1970s.

There is one song on the album that I think is simply great, and that's the McCartneyesque opener "Who Loves The Sun". The rest, though listenable, do little for me.

Where do other people find their love in Loaded?

I like the first half.

Sweet Jane & Rock n Roll are 2 of the best pop songs the Velvets ever wrote.

Edit: Has anybody actually heard Squeeze , I'd like an unbiased non velvet's fanboy opinion of it.

So, for those in the know, what to expect of other VU albums? More compelling instrumental and melodic passages than those found on Loaded, more of the same, or is it a case of "if you don't like this, you won't like the rest"?
