Velvet Underground was one of the most influential bands ever. Light years ahead of thier time.

Pete Draper,

Velvet Underground and Nico is a brilliant album. I like their other stuff too, but that one is seminal.

I really like Reed's Berlin too, though it gets a bit depressing at times :|

Happy birthday to one of the greats!

One of the hardest albums to get into (that I believe he put out as a contactural obligation) was "Metal Machine Music" - but over time that became one of my favorites and I am sure was a major influence on Trent Reznor

I guess Andy Warhol didnt have enough.:S;)

Someone once said VU only sold a few thousand albums... But every single person that bought one must have gone on to start a successful band!
