Best Velvet Underground Songs

This song itself is a drug. Once you listen to it, you will get addicted to it.

Absolutely the best song of The Velvets, it transmits the euphoria and the narcotic dreamy effect of the smack

Great, great song. The transitions from quiet-slow to loud-fast is wonderful. The guitar part is amazing!

Like the trip itself

Really the best song, I think. It's the perfect song to listen to when you're in your bed, awake, just feeling good... I LOVE IT!

Should be first. A calm and relaxing song. - Feirceraven

One of the most sexiest rock songs I have ever heard. Lou Reed sounds so sexy when he says...

" Her mind furs, adorn, imperious"

And when he says...

" Taste the whip in love not given lightly. Taste the whip now pleaadd foor mee.

That dissonant viola sounds GOOD.

I liked the music, melody and vocals ( I like VU, don't get me wrong)
But the lyrics were repulsive. - Ananya

This song may not be the "best" but this is simply beautiful and that's all that should matter.

Beautiful, beautiful... Such a sweet melody but it made me bawl my eyes out.

Reed's best lyrics, no contest.

Just captures the feeling of being with a wonderful woman, when you know it's wrong... but so right

Beautiful, well composed

Pushed the limits of rock n roll as a genre, walking the fine line at most times between a long rock epic and a simple 'noise rock' jam. Lou and Sterling's guitar licks are strong, almost as if competing for the spotlight in the song. Cale's organ keeps things interesting and freaky, and Moe Tucker's drums keep everything from descending into pure chaos. The best 17 min song you'll find, mini version is best.

Perfect. Changed my kind 180 degrees of what I thought was rock and roll.

It's different of everything I've heard before. It's Velvet's craziest song

Best song of all time.

A really good song for the time.

This is the most sweet song ever written. It should be in the top in my humble opinion, my favorite song from the velvets.

My favourite is Heroin, but as Femme Fatale is my second, I can't stand seeing it so low on the list

Saw New York it is so cool to hear a non hard rock song about Rock and Roll

One of sweetest guitar solo ever!

The electric guitar solo says it all. Run Run Run Run Run!

This song is definitely deserving of being amongst they're best, it's a travesty that it's not even in the top 10!

In my opinion, it deserves to be in top 10 for sure! Please listen this if you haven’t

No song can compare to this mastery. Maybe Heroin or Sunday Morning but nothing like this.

Great song - patrickfloyd

The way the song uses the double meaning of Alaska as a name and a place at the end is brilliant! ITS SO COLD IN Alaska!

Completely overlooked song. Should be at least top 20.

This is a smoky and mysterious beauty in a selection of music.

This'll ever be my first place... I can't believe it's so damn low... This is ART

Although Heroin and I'm waiting for the man are great, you have to give this solo credit

My vote is for this song. Proto-Grunge in 1968!

The best velvet underground song ever! Totally underrated. It makes me feel things I've never felt before. I always heave a deep sigh every time I listen to this song.

The best of their overlooked material! Those harmonies!

"Between thought and expression"... I mean are you kidding me?

An under appreciated song by velvet that is just simply beautiful.
