I've always thought Who Loves The Sun is a Beatles spoof

"Post-ironic" and "doing it for radio" essentially denote the same thing, in this context. The word you're looking for is "ironic", you don't need to use the "post" prefix to sound cool.

Record company forcing Lou Reed and friends to make an album "loaded with hits" which is why he left the band afterwards

Trout Mask Replica was the first meme album.

It sounds more like some generic one-hit wonder bubblegum band like The Turtles or something.

i really like TVU's other albums. should i never listen to this album in my life?

>>54053988
Yes, I agree that the final album would sound the same. However, the thing is if this album was conceived from the beginning to appeal the masses, or was a mockery that ended having a musical identity by itself

>>54054003
company forced him to do shit: he wrote pop tunes of his own volition

>>54054078
Give it a try. It's not like the first two (this is basically a Reed solo), but still good. The one you should avoid is Squeeze.

>>54054146
this, fuck Squeeze

>>54054146
Even squeeze isn't bad, it's just not the same band.

>>54053968
Oh! Sweet Nuthin' is basically hey jude

Oh! Sweet Nuthin is the best VU song

>>54054033
False. The andy warhol banana meme album came before it

>>54053936
>Post-ironic
Kill yourself

Have you listened to/enjoy Transformer? If so, definitely check it out.

All the VU stuff is legend, but I constantly waffle between Loaded and the s/t being my favorite.

>>54053936
Reed kinda didnt care about how the music sounded as long as he could write it. He seemed to be the kind of dude who just wanted to write poetry and place it over rock and roll.

>>54054666
holy shit satan.

>>54054723
that is my opionion too, let me guess you also prefer TVU&N to White Light/White Heat

>>54054723
blink-182 has better instrumentation and song structure.
Fact.

Their sound barely changed going into this album. TVU was always fairly radio-friendly, excluding certain songs. What the fuck is wrong with you idiots?

Also,
Loaded = TVU&N > S/T > WL/WH

I think it's a bit tongue and cheek. I mean a pop song about questioning the importance of the sun, that's some pretty awesome material.
I don't know why Loaded isn't as highly regarded as their other stuff, it's my favorite next to White Light / White Heat. Cool it Down forces me to walk like a retard, New Age is beautifully structured, the message it conveys rings even truer today. Head Held High is great, I Found a Reason is stunning in its production and vocal delivery, Train Round the Bend is my favorite, that weird staccato guitar is sweet, i wanna use it for one of my songs. And then Sweet Nuthin, a great way to end this album, and the band's career. Squeeze never happened.
