It's not given to many to release albums (both extended works) that have received simultaneous critical and popular disfavour but Lou managed it. Twice. I think that is some kind of record. Well, both were double volumes.

i.e. not a record company plot but yer actual creativity. Confused

Which, if any of them do you dislike the most?

Your valued input is encouraged.

Oh yes. RIP Lou.

P.S. If there is any which match these for quality do please mention. I've not experienced every album for various reasons which I need not explain just yet. If at all.

P.P.S. I'd include the Velvet's first album for sheer appalling quality of production but latter-day revelations proved the songs were ok once they learned how to play 'em. I do not mean Lou's lie albums when he had a superb band distracting me from his ability to sing out of tune.

P.P.S. Do avoid Lou's former colleague Nico's 2nd and 3rd albums (the record company gave up hope after that). Unless you like endless dirge death music . No, not the good stuff with metal / goth / dress up pop appeal. Oh no. They have no redeeming features (choruses, tunes, interesting bits, any sort of entertainment value, lyrical insight, any sodding thing). Not even pro-Nazi revelations. Nothing but self-pitying whining with har-(moan)-ium accompaniment. No wonder the recording staff resorted to smack use to get through these... sessions. There were extra tracks as well. They have no mercy.

P.P.P.S. RIP Nico.

This is like a, er, concept poll innit. Themed, in parts too. Hopefully more fun than listening to any of these audio travesties. Just, not by much - I know.

By the way Responsible PA Person, if this does not count as a prog rock poll then hide it in the just for fun section. I just saw the polls and went ahead regardless. Hmm, sounds like that Nazi revelations thing....
