Best female musician ever
VU&N is shit. Her solo career is great though, Lou Reed was a clueless hack.
I wouldnt call TVU&N shit, it has some great songs! Femme Fatale, I'll Be Your Mirror, All Tomorrow's Parties, the list goes on!
She was beautiful and had some great, but her voice sucked
looks like a skinny adele wtf
klon
Aryan goddess
tfw she will never sing i'll be your mirror to me until i fall asleep in her arms
AAAAAAAAAHHHH
what did google mean by this?
not the most attractive woman i've ever seen. still pretty attractive
>*forces iggy pop to eat her out*
based
>still pretty attractive
nigga she died 30 years ago
i meant in the picture
It means she effectively created punk in the Subway Sect, "Chain Smoking" is an excellent track
get back to Radiohead, this is not for you
they were both great. I think Lou Reed is the greatest music Jew after Mahler.
Isnt she like always slightly off key? not that I don't like her. But when I find myself singing some song of her, I kind of automatically correct it.
80s Nico is underrated. She did good post-punk.
youtube.com
who is she?
bitch was based I really mire her life story even if I don't really like her music.
A continuous crescendo of basedness that was her life.
Unironically looks like my gf in this pic.
it's not Björk
>"Nico was, I dunno, feeling neglected, or drunk, but suddenly she said 'I hate black people,' and smashed a wineglass on the table and stuck it in the girl's eye."
She was addicted to heroin. That's as unbased as it gets.
She was a clon
source?
Post a pic dawg
>You‘ll never be the love child of Nico & Alain Delon
>Mommy will never introduce you to heroin in between tangents on Africans, Jews, Homosexuals, and Lou Reed
>you‘ll never spend long walks on the beaches of Ibiza singing The Falconer to each other
>you‘ll never be punished by being mailed in a box to John Cale, along with a letter asking him to produce mommies next album
>mommy will never teach you how a man is to love a woman in a Jersey City motel
>Nico's partial deafness also would sometimes cause her to veer off key, for which she was ridiculed by other band members.
from wiki, also
>pre-performance good luck ritual (burning a candle) would often hold up a performance, which especially irritated Reed.
A pretentious junkie with a shit voice, just like Lou Reed.
youtube.com
nobody talks about this banger
>Her friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped her sign to Elektra Records, described her as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Nico, I'm Jewish,' and she was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.'
Yea I know, Bjork sucks
>Not using the candle to heat up your heroin spoon
was Lou a fake addict?
Who in the fuck is that? Is that the bitch from Velvet Underground? She is hot.
That’s not Maureen Tucker.
She spend a good deal of her life addicted to drugs and fluttering from one poor gig to another. She really didn't get her life back on track until the mid-80s and even then she fucking died relatively young
Was she the original trve cvlt?
Maureen Tucker is cute, Nico is hot and a real woman
I love her
Based user, Chain Smoking and Parellel lines are the best Subway Sect songs
she was racist so far from it
>be a nearly flawless product of a nazi breeding program
>forced to work with jews
Is it true she committed incest with her son?
>Ari: ‘I have only good memories of my mother. She was a very funny character she had a great sense of humour. She loved me very much, we had a special relationship. It was unique, almost like man and wife, although nothing incestuous, although people sometimes thought we were married. We had an artistic relationship, she was a great lady and I miss her very much. I was with her when she died. To me she was just my mother, a great woman who always tried to protect me.’
maureen tucker is really uggs, nico is god tier
Whats her best work, i didnt like her on TVU & nico but ive been told to check out her solo work
And im looking for her objective and universally accepted best work, not the pretentious "lodger is bowies best" type of bullshit
3 main ways you can go with this, depends on what you like:
more typical sweet chamber folk: chelsea girl
icy soundscapes: the marble index
dark gothic medieval fuckfest: desertshore
all three are fantastic albums and are in close contention for being called the best, but i think desertshore wins out a little in the critical eye. really just listen to what you'd like the most though.
Marble Index, Desertshore and Camera Obscura
Together with Trout Mask Replica and The Court Of The Crimson King, The Marble Index is the most groundbreaking album of the 60's.
youtube.com
>Chelsea Girls
If you liked softer ballads like Femme Fatale and I'll Be Your Mirror from TVU&N
>Marble Index
Freaky shit from the 60s. Its sort of a dark pseudo-Medieval freak folk record. I think this is where Nico's real voice and preference were because she composed, wrote and played the songs here instead of just singing whatever writers gave her in Chelsea Girls (she did write the title track though)
nico
more like nice
>zoomers have to reverse search the image and read wikipedia
dead lord
Desertshore [Reprise, 1970]
The Velvet Underground and Nico plus Chelsea Girl convinced me that Nico had charisma; The Marble Index plus Desertshore convince me that she's a fool. The difference is that now Nico writes the songs--songs with titles like "The Falconer" and "Abschied," songs that indulge her doleful monotone instead of playing rhythms and tempos against it. Nothing new here--bohemian hangers-on always get to publish their work while the less socially adept ("charismatic") are shafted. John Cale, with his "spare" arrangements, plays patron. C
The End [Island, 1974]
I don't know vy she's moaning about unved virgins and vether to betray her hate, and I don't vant to know. The Manzanera-Eno-Cale settings, which I believe is what one calls this sort of elevated sound effect, are suitably morbid and exotic. But funereal irony aside, her parlay of the Doors' "The End" and the Fuehrer's "Das Lied Der Deutschens" contextualizes both tunes more pejoratively than is intended. Nico is what happens when the bloodless wager their minds on the wisdom of the blood and the suicidal make something of their lives. If this be romanticism, give me Matthew Arnold--and gimme shelter.

>Nothing new here--bohemian hangers-on always get to publish their work while the less socially adept ("charismatic") are shafted
so much projection
Apparently he liked Chelsea Girls but didn't like Marble Index and everything after it
>have a heart attack and smash your fucking skull open on a rock on the way to get weed
kek why is it rich people always die in the most retarded ways? if i'm a famous musician celebrity i'm not ever picking up my own weed what the fuck?
Plenty of nobodies have deaths like these, you just never hear of them.
She was a poor struggling musician for the majority of her life in addition to being a junkie. Most of the praise and fame came after her death
That's not even an odd way to die.
She just fell from her bicicle it happens every day.
Based Alain Deloin not acknowledging his junky bastard son.
Her voice is interesting and her work is good but it's only because of John Cale.
makes you think twice about denigrating artists who seem pretentious. She was discarded by the likes of Reed as some bitch who clawed her way into the avant garde scene through cajoling warhol. When she became a junkie, her melancholic songs were also not given much respect. Which artists are there who we dont give a chance because of judgement? its a pity Yea Forums only meddles with established classics
Visionary tortured character, created goth and albums among best of all time
Cale helped quite a lot but the artistic vision was entirely hers. Notice how Cale never did a similar (or equally good) album on his own after that
This. Similar with Cale and Iggy Pop. Cale provides good varnishing to a finished product, but ultimately its not his vision.
Desertshore hands down
