	The Velvet Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although never commercially successful, The Velvet Underground remains one of the most influential bands of their time: a famous remark, often attributed to Brian Eno, is that while only a few thousand people bought a Velvet Underground record upon their initial release, almost every single one of them was inspired to start a band.
		The Velvet Underground was one of the first rock music groups to experiment heavily with the form by incorporating avant-garde influences.
		The Velvet Underground spent much of 1969 on the road, feeling they were not accepted in their hometown of New York City and not making much headway commercially.

		The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico
		Few rock albums are as important as The Velvet Underground and Nico, and fewer still have lost so little of their power to surprise and intrigue more than 30 years after first hitting the racks.
		The rest, of course, is history: the Velvet Underground was the catalyst that helped spark punk rock, and began the growth of an alternative branch within rock and roll's grand family tree.

	The Velvet Underground in New York, New York in the Velvet Underground \| PopMatters Music Feature
		The struggle, the great drama in the music of the Velvet Underground, is to somehow prevail in an environment as hostile, as imposing, as destructive as New York.
		The key to understanding the Velvet Underground is to look past all the preconceptions and prejudices surrounding their legacy, both in terms of them as representatives of the evils of New York City as well as mere appendages of Andy Warhol's Factory crowd, and approaching the music on its own terms.
		The most forceful refutation of the litany of negative reactions to the music and attitude of the Velvet Underground is that this drama on the city streets does not resolve on the terror-stricken note of "Heroin" but rather on the wildly ecstatic and joyous note of "Rock 'n' Roll".

		The Velvet Underground Nico - The Velvet Underground and Nico
		The Velvet Underground's first album (the Velvet Underground and Nico) was all about making pop music from Mars; the songs were strange, arty, and often noisy, but it was all pretty acessible, and some of it was downright beautiful.
		Loaded, the Velvet Underground's final album with de facto leader Lou Reed, is the most uncharactaristic of the group's career: It's a straight pop-rock album, devoid of the experimenation of their previous three records.

		The Velvet Underground & Nico ~ Velvet Underground
		Without the sonic terrorism of The Velvet Underground & Nico and White Light/White Heat or the ill-conceived commercial concessions that marred Loaded, the album's songs are free to stand on their own merit.
		Of course, the Velvets wouldn't be the Velvets without out at least one truly far-out-down-right-weird selection, and they offer it with "The Murder Mystery," a collage of conversation-like speech and lanquid singing that changes rhythms from moment to moment and which challenges the listener to sort out the individual voices and words.

		The Velvet Underground And Nico - White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground - VU - Another VU - 1969 - Velvet Underground Live Volume 2 - Desert Shore - Loaded - Live At Max's Kansas City - Transformer - Rock 'N' Roll Animal - The End...
		In fact, the Underground had recorded a pile of unreleased material up to that point, which naturally was released in the 80s on not one, but two excellent compilations that I've sandwiched into the discography.
		Some of it does veer towards the Underground's savage take on the 50's ("Banging On My Drum"), and there are nods to funk (the hyperactive "Follow The Leader"), swing ("A Sheltered Life"), and Reed's Bowie-influenced early 70s glam-rock phase (title track, which I believe was a moderate AOR hit).

	The Velvet Underground & Nico: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
		Fact is, The Velvet Underground were, and still remain a very big deal, indeed.
		Pepper had its lavish, high-concept album cover, while The Velvet Underground & Nico represented the postmodern side, with Andy Warhol's banana on a white background, with the curious message "Peel Slowly and See" in fine print (when peeled, the listener would be treated to a pink, phallic banana underneath).
		The Velvet Underground (Guitarist/singer Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cale, rhythm guitarist/bassist Sterling Morrison, drummer Maureen Tucker, and "chanteuse" Nico), on the other hand, needed just 3000 dollars and one day in the studio.

	bobchaos.com: Velvet Underground Squeeze
		The story of the Velvet Underground is a well-documented one from their 1965 inception to the departure of original leader Lou Reed in 1970.Although not commercially successful during their eight-year career, the band included several very significant members over their history and left behind five classic studio albums.
		This band was popular in their native Boston and although they sadly didn't record, is important to the Velvets story as three members of this band went on to serve in the Velvet Underground.
		For the final Velvet Underground sessions, held in the UK during the summer of 1972, the VU were only Doug Yule and Ian Paice, on loan from prog-metal's legendary Deep Purple.

		While Eno's claim most certainly is hyperbole, the avant-garde guitar stylings the Velvet Underground developed during their period of activity in the second half of the 1960s was extremely influential.
		And while the Velvet Underground did not sell many records by most commercial standards (for instance, their third album had only sold 50,000 copies over 20 years after it was released), their influence has been widespread enough to secure their entry in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
		The Velvet Underground soon began playing a regular gig at Greenwich Village's Cafe Bizarre--an engagement that abruptly ended when they played their screeching "Black Angel's Death Song" immediately after being told by the management never to play it again.

	Velvet Underground
		For the Velvets the aesthete-punk stance was a way of surviving in a world that was out to kill you; the point was not to glorify the punk, or even to say fuck you to the world, but to be honest about the strategies people adopt in a desperate situation.
		One of the most remarkable things about the Velvet Underground’s body of work is that, though they have an immediately identifiable sound and style, no two of their albums seem at all alike.
		That said, The Velvet Underground and Nico (the latter being a Warhol-recommended "chanteuse" who departed after the album was released to pursue an even more quixotic solo career) does function as a kind of "map of their music" (to paraphrase The Doors’ description of their own debut LP).

		The Velvet Underground was little known during its lifetime; now, more than thirty years after the band collapsed, it has a world-wide following--but the band's music still tends to divide listeners.
		On the other hand, if you have an ear tuned to the truly cutting-edge (as in Patti Smith, one of several artists who were heavily influenced by the Velvet Underground), you owe it to yourself to give this band, and this recording in particular, a try.
		The Velvet Underground's debut album the Velvet Underground and Nico is the most influential album of all time because it was a haven for artists and a heaven for musicians.

	The Velvet Underground
		Lots of people claim they love the Velvet Underground, but don't know shit about the band; other people say they hate the Velvet Underground, but end up admitting they had their value, too (just look at Prindle's page of VU reviews and tell me he didn't get messed up on there).
		If anything, the Velvets are great because they did things that no one else ever dreamt of doing before them - either because these things were too simple or because these things were too complicated.
		As for the Velvets themselves, my collection is fairly limited - as of now, I've only got the standard 'classic four' of their original studio recordings and can say nothing of the endless stream of live albums or the VU outtake collections, not to mention the box set.
