He is pointing at you

Nope, Run Run Run isn't at all, just listen to the guitar riffs: incredibly dissonant. The whole tuning they use is pretty innovative, and sure that stays pretty much constant through the whole album but it's enough to make both those tracks way better than, say, The Beatles.

As for whether they're generic tracks otherwise, maybe, but they're fun as fuck

Blues riffs are not dissonant anon.

Other than the solo there is nothing dissonant about Run Run Run.

>>73772389
By '67 most bands had dropped blues based rock n roll, it was old hat.

Go read a book

If you spent more time listening to music than reading you would know I'm right.

In defense of this post, I first heard "Run, Run, Run" when I was 13 and was blown away by how dissonant and off-key the guitar solos sounded. It bothered because despite it "sounding terrible", it had me fuckin' going. I can understand deriding this song for not being experimental enough or whatever, but this song definitely deviates from standard blues soloing a fuckload. Actually, I challenge any anon to find me a blues solo that sounds like the solos in this song. Call the song shitty all you want, but calling it a generic blues song is simply incorrect

>>73772443
And Bach's works are derivative. Fucking plebs.

Solos aren't really part of "the song" if you want to be autistic about it, you don't get a writing credit for making a solo. You could change the solo and it would be the same song.
The chord progression, the rhythm, the little guitar licks between vocal lines, and the vocal melody are the song and it's standard blues stuff.
You can't make a generic buttrock song but add some harsh noise in the last 5 seconds and expect everyone to be convinced that it's some avant garde masterpiece.

>>73772503
You're not wrong, but my whole point was that it's not a generic blues song, not that it's an avant-garde masterpiece. I just think it's a unique song because I can't think of any other traditional blues track that attempts this disjointed style of soloing, excepting some Kinks songs if you're stretching really hard.

And just to clarify, I don't think The Velvet Underground is that good at all, in fact I don't think Run, Run, Run is even actually a good song. I'm just saying, you can't just discount the unique part of a song because the rest of the track isn't unique.

I'm not the biggest fan of Run Run Run but I' Waiting for the Man has this pumping urgency and cool swagger making it pretty pretty gr8 m8
