Maybe some of the stuff on Squeeze but I really dont count that as a VU album. It's only really got the fact that it gave it's name to the SE London band to recommend it. And John Cale produced their first EP.
I'll be Your Mirror - Surprised that hasn't been covered by someone (most likely has but not to my knowledge)
Who are they and why don't I know any of their songs? Is it someone from the 60's? Did the Beatles thread set the oldies off on their reminiscing again? Put your Cardies and slippers on, light the fire and wrap up warm oldsters as I hear it is going to get a bit chippy tonight. Leave the music discussions to us young and hip crowd.

How wrong you can you be : - )
The Beatles and the Velvets. Now there is a contrast.

What other albums would you advise checking out?
Certainly White Light, White Heat and The Velvet Underground, the 2nd and 3rd albums
Loaded isn't quite as good but has some great tracks. VU is a compilation of unreleased tracks but with some surprisingly good stuff. Most of it is rumoured to be from the mythically "lost" album.
Live at Max's is good and there are plenty of compilations as well.
