The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (1968)

If their first album is described as beautiful, then this second album is ugly, so said bassist John Cale. Disappointed with the low sales of The Velvet Underground & Nico, Cale imposed more influence in the musical direction and made the album an even more avant-garde piece. Title-track "White Light/White Heat" was the only accessible rock track and was later covered by David Bowie and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Last song "Sister Ray" was a 17-minute jam with chaotic guitar and organ and embarrassing lyric. D
