Those results do make a lot of sense, though. But then, I never cared that much for Nico myself.

yeah Geir given the distinctive melodies that populate Vintage Violence and Paris 1919 I'd say the "Sunday Morning" melody has Cale's thumbprints all over it - it would not surprise me to learn that Lou wrote the words and Cale set it to melody 'cause that's how it sounds, right down to the "watch out"s

yeah it's so empathetic (melody-wise) that i've always heard someone else in there besides reed. i have no idea who else was involed though, in all honesty.
i voted cale only because i can't imagining living a life without those solo albums -- paris 1919, vintage violence, fear especially. that doesn't really address the question of the thread tho, which implicitly specifies the band and the years etc. all i know is that 'guess i'm falling in love (live)" from peel slowly and see is my favorite vu song of all-time, and i suspect reed wrote it.

How does "cale pwn reed on 'temptation inside of your heart'"? He doesn't seem to be saying too much on it

also moe was robbed ;_;
Oh, and Nico doesn't really belong up there.
Fuck you, yes she does. Like it or not, she was in the damn band, people.
-- Bimble,
And fuck you right back! cuz she wasn't. Not a question of "liking it" or not - just semantics. She performed with them and collaborated with them but never actually joined 'em.

MVB OTM, but I liked having her and Yule in the poll so they could be pwned.
