You should check more VU. You can't go wrong with their first four.

I was actually planning on checking these guys really soon, along with a bunch of other more classic acts. I'll see if these guys do top the Hendrix triad.

Honestly VU is a tiny bit overrated but they're still really good. Lou Reed is amazing, specifically. And John Cale, I guess.



Jimi would have the greatest "triad" if his second album wasn't considerably weaker than the other two.



How are we defining musical triad anyway? Because Hunky Dory - Ziggy Stardust - Aladdin Sane >>>



And Station to Station - Low - "Heroes"

agreed, but calling these bands "overrated," at least to me, makes the bands sound like they don't deserve the respect they earned



I think I just have beef w/ "overrated" as a term

You can't really call something overrated when an entire landscape of music would be different without it

Overrated is a pretty fucking stupid word as it is
