Day 7


To end this week's subject the ultimate Heroin song can only be Heroin by The Velvet Underground. 

It was released in 1967 on their debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico. 

Lou Reed wrote the song in 1964...in 2004 it was placed at #455 of ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE TOP 500 SONGS OF ALL TIME. It is also included in The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame's top 500 songs that shaped rock n roll 


FABULOUS cover by Opal...with the stunning voice of Hope Sandoval(from Mazzy Star),1988


another cover by Beck, it's pretty good. There are alot of covers of the song...some of them in my opinion just terrible...reinterpreted just too much...so this will be the last.
