The Velvet Underground's most accessible album, Loaded offers many great tracks, but my personal favorite is the opening track "Who Loves the Sun?" It's a jangly upbeat song about a broken heart. The contrast between the lyrics and the music borders on humorous occasionally especially when they throw in the "Ba ba ba baaa's" in the chorus.
Another highlight of the song is the Beatles-esque breakdown. It comes out of nowhere and happily floats around before throwing you back into the chorus. After the breakdown you stop and wonder if it actually happened.
