The Velvet Underground pre-dated even Bowie (who covered various Velvet Underground tracks), the Stooges, and the MC5. It’s doubtful the CBGB’s scene would have flourished in the 1970s, or that alternative rock would have ruled the 1990s. Without the Velvets, it’s hard to imagine that there would have been a Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, R.E.M., or Sonic Youth. They made three more studio albums with Reed at the helm, including the proto-punk White Light/White Heat(1968)and the more pop-oriented Loaded(1970), the latter featuring Cale’s replacement Doug Yule sharing vocal duties with Reed. The band split with Warhol and Nico, and later with multi-instrumentalist and composer John Cale, who played viola and bass but more importantly was the band’s resident experimentalist. The Velvet Underground & Nico(1967) sold poorly but eventually became a fixture on lists of essential rock records. Pop artist Andy Warhol managed the band in their early years and produced their first record, urging Reed and his mates to record with Nico, a German model who had starred in several of Warhol’s art films. A Velvets record always took listeners on a ride it’s just that sometimes that ride was a trip uptown to score heroin. But in college, he’d developed affinities for the Beats, Ornette Coleman, and drugs, and in his band, all those sensibilities and influences converged. Reed loved doo-wop and was writing pop songs for an also-ran record label at the time. The Velvet Underground formed in the mid-1960s and somehow merged the avant-garde and experimental New York music scenes with the garage rock sensibilities of budding poet Lou Reed, the band’s chief songwriter and sardonic frontman.
