velvet underground–velvet underground is their third album, with stuff like "pale blue eyes" "candy says" and "what goes on". vu and nico is the first album. they just aren’t very creative with the album titles. but when you’re the velvet underground, who cares, right? VU is a comp of unrelased stuff…like their fifth album.
