Basedtles

there's nothing innovative or influential about them whatsoever

yes

lol

Yes

animal collective > the velvet underground

Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues opened the door for everything after in rock.
Also anyone lectured about real avant-garde happening in academic music deceades earlier find the VU "experiments" laugheable.

>innovative
>influential
>4 chord rawk

k

>academic music
Oh that stuff, the stuff that changes youth culture, 'academic' music, uh huh yep uh huh....

>stuff that changes youth culture
like porn ipods commercials pills drinks? Everything marketed to youth changes its culture.
TVU were recorded, edited, distributed by a company for profit reasons, so stop pretending they were doing muh cultural revolution or anything like that.

No they are the shittiest band of all time. Lou Reed has worse vocals then any random drunk person you pull out of a bar to do karaoke

what was wlwh trying to profit from? what company was it advertising for?

Yes so is Captain Beefheart, Faust, Pere Ubu, and NEU!

Both are good

Warhol’s dollars

Nigga they fired warhol at that point

>producer walked out of studio saying "I don't have to put up with this shit"
>innovative

Lennon would have been a great metal frontman. His shouting on Beatles tracks are legendary.

>the most innovative
?????

Who did they influence? What did they innovate? Every major performer cites The Beatles as a strong influence but rarely The Velvet Underground.
