The Doors into the Velvet Underground + Nico

Ive been spinning /streaming  these two bands revolutionary debute albums too and back from work. Both makes me think. I have for some reason avoided the Doors becouse i like to discover bands in my own pace spessialy if i feel a peer pressure to listen to certan music (or movies). So ive been stalling my introduction to really bite my teeth into The Doors (1967) which is both a pitty, but also a luxuary problem, imm not over stimulated with it, i have not made a the Doors shrine, but i have a healthy respect for their place in music history. Their place inside popular music is solid. I have been more exposed to the music of the Velvet Underground, i have been slightly more qurious about Lou Reeds musical life first and formoast. But also had an interest in digging into the Velvet Underground + Nico (1967).

In the past i never connected with the Velvet Underground or Lou Reed at all.. I think for a long time i felt that name checking them was something bands did to show how cool or punk or alternative they were and so i avoided them. Ive come to realise that was an ignorant and prejudiced view and i have dipped my ears into some of their material in more recent years. As a band i realise there is a wealth of diversity of sounds and musical skills which have a much wider range of influence in post 1960's music than i had previously accepted. However, i just cant get used to the voice of or personally see much attraction in the music and lyrics of Lou Reed as a solo artist.
