John Cale
The Island Years

John Cale, the weird violin guy from the Velvet Underground, goes commercial on us. How do I know? Because the songs on these albums sound normal, even catchy at times. Where is that avant-garde music that I cannot listen to easily, but I force myself to like. What is up with this pleasant music? Sell out.
