Episode Info:

The greatest and most important album of all time. Boom! Peel slowly and see how a motley bunch of misfits came together and invented glam, punk, new wave, goth, noise and alternative rock by writing songs about death, sadomasochism, heroin, parties and hangovers. Radiating outsider, NYC, artsy cool, we chart the history of the band and their Warhol connections, the rank and rushed recording of the album, the iconic album cover, a track-by-track analysis, and we recount the rest of the VU's decline, fall and reappraisal.The greatest and most important album of all time? Well, I guess, but I just don't know.
