Nico

[LMP]

Does she have the deepest chick voice ever, or not?

I've been listening to a lot of Velvet Underground lately and goddamn. Her voice may be deeper than mine.

Plus, I just wanted to post a poll.

Under all of the surgery, it may very well be Nico.

 

[corianderstem]

Totally. Yah.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Fer sure.

[Pinball Wizard]

Grace Jones, bitches.

 

[martha]

To me, Grace sounds more feminine than Nico does.

I pretend Cher doesn't exist.

 

[BVS]

I think Marianne Faithfull beats her...

 

[Pinball Wizard]

To me, Grace sounds more feminine than Nico does.

True. But it's not everyday that one can say "Grace Jones, bitches."

There was a view to a kill.

 

[impy13]

Yeah, okay. I think Cher is the same person as Nico, which is why I posted that single cover. You got me. I'm an idiot.

Worst part of the Velvet Underground.

I didn't know Velvet Underground had a chick lead singer

Still worth checking out?

Strongly disagree. She wasn't the best part either, but she's certainly better than Doug and Billy Yule.
The VU songs she sang lead on were all great. I can't imagine Lou singing a better All Tomorow's Parties (which was Andy Warhol's favourite VU song) or a sweeter I'll Be Your Mirror.

Certainly still worth checking out. What's wrong with a band with a female singer?
The album she sang (part) lead on, The Velvet Underground & Nico, is a classic. Quite lo-fi, lyrically extreme and explicit and the template for modern (alternative) rock.

So check it out!
