Everyone says The Velvet Underground inspired a ton of artists. Well what are some bands that sound directly inspired by / noticeably similar to TVU? I nominate the Raincoats, especially this track.

Les Rallizes Dénudés
I would point to Jesus and Mary Chain and Spacemen 3
Yeah these guys basically just ripped off VU
Pretty much the whole noise pop genre owes itself to TVU
this is just a poppy version of sister ray. Cale was involved with it

GReat band, great album
Dont ever reply to my posts again
Too late
Even something like the saw or whatever that squeaky instrument is in this song is reminisce of john cale's viola playing in heroin. Not sure if that's actually the influence though

Have sex
The tempo change on Life On The Line though
It's such a shame that this place doesn't talk about solid music enough. "Life on the line" was the first The Raincoats song I heard.
all of is this it, and they did it well
raincoats are great
Lola is Better than the original
fpbp
Literally anything "noise rock," "indie," or "punk" owes its soul to the velvet underground.
More music like Pram, The Raincoats, and Laika?
Lil Peep
Yo La Tengo’s first few albums were very VU, and beat happening too
The whole Flying Nun/New Zealand scene is very influenced by VU
Saint Etienne
reminder the the best VU was with Ian Pace on drums
Can and other krautrock bands.
Buzzcocks
This was always my least favorite off that album desu. I didn't even realize it was aping Sister Ray, I just thought it was a horrible opener.
