  The Velvet Underground - Music Downloads - Online
The Velvets' music was too important to languish in obscurity, though; their cult only grew larger and larger in the years following their demise, and continued to mushroom through the years.
Historians often hail the group for their incalculable influence upon the punk and new wave of subsequent years, and while the Velvets were undoubtedly a key touchstone of the movements, to focus upon these elements of their vision is to only get part of the story.
The group was uncompromising in their music and lyrics, to be sure, sometimes espousing a bleakness and primitivism that would inspire alienated singers and songwriters of future generations.

  Underground music -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The term underground music has been applied to several artistic movements, notably to the early (additional info and facts about psychedelic) psychedelic movement of the mid 60s centred in (A city in southern California; motion picture capital of the world; most populous city of California and second largest in the United States) Los Angeles.
It took its name both from the basement venues in which it was played, and the small or underground record labels which released it.
The term is also currently used to describe many modern electronic music events including for example free raves as well as many other sorts of non mainstream musical exponents with actual specific genre or style being a non-point in determining the 'underground' status.

 A history of music
Although I have omnivorous tastes in music, the music section of jahsonic.com mainly focuses on maligned genres of the late twentieth century pop canon: dance music, fl music, disco, reggae, dub, house music, early hip hop, gay music, electronic music and techno.
Disco music is an up-tempo style of dance music that originated in the early 1970s, mainly from funk and soul music, popular originally with gay and fl audiences in large U.S. cities, and derives its name from the French word discothèque (meaning nightclub), coined from disc + bibliotèque (library) by La Discothèque in Rue Huchette.
Emerging in the early fifties, rock music was initially referred to as “rock 'n' roll.” After 1964 it was simply called “rock music.” The change in terminology indicates both a continuity with and a break from the earlier period; rock music was no longer just for dancing.

 The Velvet Underground in New York, New York in the Velvet Underground | PopMatters Music Feature
Music critic John Rockwell characterizes the Velvet Underground's relation to New York as embodying, "the desperation of surviving and winning recognition for your work in a harsh, industrialized, rundown, seemingly indifferent environment".
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".
