The Velvet Underground, formed in New York City in 1964, is an American rock band renowned for their experimental and influential sound that has left an indelible mark on music history. Originally comprising Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Angus MacLise (later replaced by Moe Tucker), the band's provocative lyrics, avant-garde experimentation, and nihilistic attitude laid the groundwork for punk rock, new wave, and numerous other genres. Their unique blend of rock and avant-garde, coupled with their association with Andy Warhol and his Factory, made them a seminal force in the development of alternative and underground music. Despite limited commercial success during their active years, The Velvet Underground's legacy endures, inspiring countless artists and solidifying their status as one of rock's most revered bands. Their iconic album "The Velvet Underground & Nico," featuring German singer Nico, remains a cornerstone of their discography, showcasing their raw, primal guitar sound and urban noir lyrics.
