| | The Velvet Underground & Nico is the debut album by | |
| | American rock band the Velvet Underground and German | |
| | singer Nico, released in March 1967 by Verve | |
| | Records. It was recorded in 1966 while the band were | |
| | featured on Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic | |
| | Inevitable tour. The album features experimental | |
| | performance sensibilities and controversial lyrical | |
| | topics, including drug abuse, prostitution, | |
| | sadomasochism and sexual deviancy. It sold poorly | |
| | and was mostly ignored by contemporary critics, but | |
| | later became regarded as one of the most influential | |
| | albums in the history of popular music. | |
| | | |
| | Many subgenres of rock music and forms of | |
| | alternative music were informed by the album, | |
| | including art rock, punk, garage, shoegazing, goth, | |
| | and indie. | |
| | | |
| | In 1982, musician Brian Eno stated that while the | |
| | album only sold approximately 30,000 copies in its | |
| | first five years, "everyone who bought one of those | |
| | 30,000 copies started a band!" | |
| | | |
| | In 2003, it ranked 13th on Rolling Stone magazine's | |
| | list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and | |
| | in 2006, it was inducted into the National Recording | |
| | Registry by the Library of Congress. | |
| | | |
| | ---------- | |
| | | |
| | The Velvet Underground was an American rock band | |
| | formed in New York City in 1964 by singer/guitarist | |
| | Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist | |
| | Sterling Morrison, and drummer Angus MacLise. | |
| | MacLise was replaced by Moe Tucker in 1965, who | |
| | played on most of the band's recordings. The band | |
| | performed under a number of names before settling on | |
| | The Velvet Underground in 1965. Pop artist Andy | |
| | Warhol became their manager in 1966, and they served | |
| | as the house band at Warhol's art collective known | |
| | as "the Factory" and Warhol's traveling multimedia | |
| | show, the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, from 1966 to | |
| | 1967. Their debut album, The Velvet Underground & | |
| | Nico (with German singer and model Nico), was | |
| | released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor | |
| | sales but has since become critically acclaimed; in | |
| | 2003, Rolling Stone called it the "most prophetic | |
| | rock album ever made." | |
| | | |
| | The band released three more albums (White | |
| | Light/White Heat (1968), The Velvet Underground | |
| | (1969), and Loaded (1970), with Doug Yule replacing | |
| | Cale for the final two, and with none performing up | |
| | to the expectations of record labels or of Reed, the | |
| | band's leader; the group functionally disbanded in | |
| | 1971-1972 as everyone except Yule left the band. An | |
| | abortive UK tour with Yule as the band leader and | |
| | with new musicians followed in 1973, and a final | |
| | album released in the band's name, Squeeze (1973), | |
| | consisting mostly of Yule with a few session | |
| | musicians, marked the end of the band for some time. | |
| | All of the members continued to collaborate on each | |
| | other's solo work throughout the 1970s and 1980s, | |
| | and a retrospective "rarities" album, VU, was | |
| | released in 1985. A full reunion of the band came in | |
| | the early 1990s, with the Reed-Cale-Tucker-Morrison | |
| | lineup playing a series of well-received shows in | |
| | 1993, and releasing a live album from the tour, Live | |
| | MCMXCIII. After Morrison's death in 1995, the | |
| | remaining three members played together for a single | |
| | performance at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame | |
| | induction in 1996, the last time the band performed | |
| | together musically. | |
| | | |
| | The band's integration of rock and the avant-garde | |
| | achieved little commercial success during its | |
| | existence, but it is now recognized as one of the | |
| | most influential bands in rock, underground, | |
| | experimental, and alternative music. | |
| | | |
| | The provocative subject matter, musical experiments, | |
| | and often nihilistic attitudes explored in the | |
| | band's work proved influential in the development of | |
| | punk rock and new wave music. | |
| | | |
| | In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the band No. 19 on its | |
| | list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". | |
| | | |
| | In 2017, a study of AllMusic's catalog indicated the | |
| | Velvet Underground as the fifth most frequently | |
| | cited artist influence in its database. | |
| | | |
| | The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of | |
| | Fame in 1996 by Patti Smith. | |
