1. I like Stipe's falsetto |
|
Nico's voice never did it for me, and while Lou is a genius, this song doesn't fit his vocal style. Bonus points go to REM for Mike Mill's always-awesome harmony vocals.

2. It is good, and it makes that whole outtakes album |
|
But for me, VU was Lou's band. The minute it ceased being Lou's band, Lou left.
So the Nico experiment was always considered to be a one of to curry favor with Andy.
So even her songs, he OWNS by right of style

3. Try to find June Tabor's version of "All Tomorrow's Parties" |
|
Tabor has a beautiful voice. It's dark and deep, but it doesn't have Nico's Mistress Helga The Nazi Dominatrix quality.
It's on the album "Freedon and Rain", which she recorded with the Oyster Band.

6. How could you omit this clearly definitive version? |
