No I think Paikea had a point. The Grtfl Dead, The Velved UnderGround and Tull were all aquired tastes, same with Dylan. The Dead because they were a complete mix of country folk and acid rock, with a very unique form of musical talent. The Underground because of there adherence to simplicity and because Reed had a poor sining voice and Niko sounded like a man in falceto. Tull because of the mix of classical and heavy influence of blues and Jazz, and the flute solos. Dylan, because like Lou Reed (who I love) couldn't sing, and because of the simplicity of the music.

And I would argue they are all as equaly enjoyable/hateble as each other. Listen to Lou Reed's synth experiments if you think he is 100% genious.

I guess that depends on how you define good, for me, the chorus of Like A Rolling Stone is as good as it gets. I do prefer my VU without Nico though.
Also, reed may not have a "great voice", but he does more than alright.
