For March 2023 we will listen to and share our thoughts on The Velvet Underground's 1966 debut and almost self-titled album, "The Velvet Underground and Nico".  This album is said to have been one of the biggest influences on rock and alternative music ever, but when it was first released, it was a flop, largely in part to its controversial subject matter. How does it hold up to modern tastes and sensibilities?  Will any of us enjoy this album? Tune in at the end of the month to see our review.
