Yo La Tengo
Comment:
Who will be the next Velvet Underground? While that question hasn't left the lips of critics and art punk-adoring VU cultists since the band split up in 1973, Andy Warhol himself would have appreciated a successor like Yo La Tengo. Aside from literally playing Lou Reed and company in [i]I Shot Andy Warhol[/i], the New Jersey natives have often embraced a similar mix of restless, sadistic noise and comfortably numb melodies. The comparison is clear throughout Yo La Tengo's catalog, really, from gloomy rock tunes like "It's Alright (The Way That You Like)" to beautiful but broken ballads Nico would have loved singing over ("Needle of Death," "Take Care").
