In this episode, Ben leads everyone through an album nobody would have pegged him as loving (since it's not by Elvis), 1967's The Velvet Underground and Nico. Produced (sort of) by Andy Warhol and featuring singing (sort of) by German model Nico, the album's noisy, abrasive rock music - sweetened by Lou Reed's reliable pop instincts - has influenced generations of bands. But is it any fun to listen to? Ben says heck yes, Will rolls his eyes, and Amanda and Phil bring some sorely needed nuance to the table. There's definitely Discord here - probably inevitable whenever Lou Reed is involved. WARNING: This episode contains some adult themes and naughty language. Listener discretion is advised. Cohosts: Benjamin Marlin, Phil Maddox, Amanda Rodgers, Chris Willie WilliamsComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/035-the-velvet-underground-the-velvet-underground-and-nico-1967Support the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod
