music of the moment II

Currently playing: The Velvet Underground & Nico
(produced by Andy Warhol). Tres subversive when
it first appeared in 1967, and still a way cool disc,
even after all these years!

What a range of sounds these guys had--everything
from garage-band rock-n-roll, to light-hearted pop
(the music, not the lyrics!), to psychedelic drone.

Are there any bands out there today with albums
comparable to this? If there are, I'd appreciate
suggestions for some CD's to check out.
