Something live. Either 1969 or the Quine tapes.

its difficult for me to even begin to see the velvets as the same band after cale left.
with the exception of a few songs, the cale velvets were extremely experimental, raw and just amazing. the post cale velvets made some lovely songs and should be seen as a great band in their own right.
maybe you will love both, maybe you will prefer one to the other, but they are very different. just buy all the albums. or buy one and download the rest, cuz even the most harcore music pirate would shudder at the thought of not buying all of those classics.......excpet maybe loaded.

white light white heat for sister ray alone. the rest of the album is amazing but that song is so great.

Just get all 3. They're all totally different but equally awesome. You can't go wrong with any of them. But they're all completely essential to any music collection.

Yeah, noise machine is right - if you really like what you heard you might as well get 'em all. The boxset is a worthy purchase.

I really really dig the first(only) vu & nico album. I just love it, nico's voice and the arrangements (i'll be yr mirror) are just sublime.

No VU album comes close to this one for sheer lyrical quality & listenability

HOWEVER

for the next VU album, i recommend WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT

the gift may just be the best song in human history, and will destroy your hopeless pathetic romantic thoughts

then buy nico - chelsea girl

To answer both of your questions...

which album to get next?
Since you got the first one then next you should get the 2nd one.

which is the best excluding the first one?
their 2nd one.

So yeah, get their 2nd one. White Light/White Heat

edit

and wax is right. After Cale left after the 2nd album it's not the same band anymore. The first 2 albums are undeniably great. The rest of them are either you like it or you don't.

There's this somewhat easy to find live thing.

It's mostly green, with a shot of some chick's ass cheeks. There are two volumes. The one that starts with Lou asking the audience if they should play two short sets or one long one is the best. Starts with I'm Waiting. Ends w/ Heroin.

Anyone know what the fuck it's called?

Anyhow, it's my absolute favorite VU recording.

That's called 1969: The Velvet Undergroung Live.

And yes, those are really wonderful. One of the absolute highlights is the 8 minute version of What Goes On. They should've made the album version that long too.
