Did a VU best of and I ended it with my favorite songs. They are:
5. I Can't Stand It(but if Jeannie would just come back)
4. Black Angel's Death Song(guitar and viola and I'm in Heaven)
3. Foggy Notion (ties in with the concepts of the first two but you might do it again)
2. Heroin (for the helplessness I occasionally feel)
1. Sister Ray (for the utter chaos)

If only one....
then....
Sunday Morning
the first ever single version from the Velvets, not that I heard it fresh in the 60's, actually mid 70's! but anyway:
This song reminds me of walking home from some party a very late saturday night, OK, it's a Sunday Morning, I am almost, but not quite sober, having a chat with a girl following me home, the sun is about to rise above the horizon, we meet a newspaper man, and it's going o be a beautiful sunday, but that is not on our minds as we head home..

Over those 17 minutes it's got everything I love about the Velvet Underground and more, I listen to it all the time, always gets me. Stupid people say WL/WH isn't well produced, but for me it's perfect!
I agree.

No slight to Doug, but the creme de la creme has to be the Cale lineup. In no set order, my five:
Sister Ray
Venus In Furs
Hey Mr. Rain (take your pick)
Heroin
Here She Comes Now
I'm also a sucker for any of the long, hypnotic EPI jams.

If I really had to pick one then I guess "What Goes On". It's just pure bliss and the guitar solo is heavenly.

Yep, one of the greats but which version? The
VU/Live 1969 versions are very different from the
Fully Loaded one...
The 1970 version has that great lead guitar line that the '69 version lacks but this song needs Moe on drums to really scale the heights. Funny how Lou reverted back to the '69 arrangement for his debut solo album (with the lead guitar line from the '70 version). Still, it's nowhere near the one on the
VU album for me.
